[AJD] Electrolysis Question

[Michael Ostrander]

Duane-
That's not a bad idea.  Had not thought about the acid.  I did some
preliminary sandblasting last night and it whitens the surface but cant
touch the underside of the layers.  Will look into that.  Thanks.

Could you possibly wrap the outside with several layers of heavy plastic or
some other protective material and cover the painted areas. Then sandblast
the inside of the box. Finish off with phosopheric(sp?) acid to kill any of
the rust that is left. Just thinking out loud.
