I'm about to venture into a bunch of electrolytic derusting again. I was reading
up on home anodising where it suggested using sheet lead for an electrode, and I
wondered if the anode in EDR could be made of sheet lead. Anyone tried this?

DISCLAIMER: I have *always* gotten cathode/anode terminology mixed up. My
current understanding is that the cathode is connected to the negative wire from
the charger; i.e. it is a source of electrons. If I have it backwards, blame my
7th grade science teacher, who confused me more or less permanently. What I
actually do is figure out which is the cathode and then invert my choice,
because I *always* seem to get it wrong, sigh.
