Question:
Two questions about electrolysis, for either those who know about
electricity or those who have tried it.:
1) I'm gearing up to try this out on a number of old planes (about
10). In the interest of saving time, can I hook up multiple leads
(positive, if I remember) to multiple items in the same tank, or will
that dilute the effect and slow down the process? I plan on running
multiple anodes around the parts, if that matters.
2) No one around here carries washing soda. I plan on mixing baking
soda, tsp, and Borax instead. Any problems with that?

Positive to sacrificial anode, negative to your good stuff. You can hook
up multiple items as long as the connections are solid. Avoid getting the
charger clamps in the solution.
Question: 2) No one around here carries washing soda. I plan on mixing baking
soda, tsp, and Borax instead. Any problems with that? Answer: Washing soda is available at all the major supermarkets in the laundry
area. The box looks very similar to the baking soda boxes found in the
baking area. Mix about a tablespoon to a gallon of water.
