war nickel after electrolosis/ updated with 1923 token pic

juju · Dec 15, 2008

Here are the results of the nickel after electrolosis. This is the one that had the steel wheat rusted to it. Found a couple days ago. This makes 3 1943s nickels from the same yard. Used 12v 500mili amps for 3 hours.

The token just came out of the bath. Not bad at all.

Ok here goes. I use a Radio Shack power supply. It is a 12volt 500 milliamp basic wall adapter. I put an alligator clip on each wire. The positive lead goes to a stainless steel fork, and the negative goes to the piece being cleaned. I then submerse them in a solution of salt water in a plastic container. Making sure the pieces are about 3 inches apart. Never let them touch. I use 3 personal size bottles of distilled water, and 1/2 a cup of salt. If the wires are correct the piece being cleaned should bubble. If the fork is bubbling swap the wires. The water will foul fairly quick but this is fine. Check your piece every hour so you know you are not over doing it. And thats it. Very simple to make, and gives great results. Hope this helps.

I wouln't use ove 500ma. An increase in the MA will start to remove base material much quicker and as a result do damage more quickly.
