The parts also seem to re-rust much quicker than raw
steel. *This seems to happen even if you thoroughly rinse and

Did you use washing soda (sodium carbonate) for electrolyte? Did
it strip paint as well as rust? Did you paint immediately?


Yes, I used washing soda.


And no, it didn't strip the paint that was well adhered.
