Mad Scientist and a wheelborrow

Spent the day doing more electrolysis cleaning on the mangle legs, which have alot more paint and some really heavy rust on them. They will need another go now that I've remove a large amount of the top paint layers. I used the wheelbarrow which needed a little bit of silicon sealant on the inside bolts to make it watertight. 


  Got stuck in with the Dremel, sandpaper and a wire disk brush on  the drill to clean out the stubborn bits left on the other parts that the electrolysis and wire brush didn't get. Pretty happy with the results so far.

Also tested some of the CRC rust converter on a couple of small parts which worked really well, then hit them with some Epoxy Black Gloss spray paint. They have come up looking really nice, so tomorrow once the paint has hardened up fully, I’ll do a few scratch tests and see how it goes. Pretty sure the combo will work well, just not sure how many topcoats I’ll need to do.
