On one point... where all the articles talk about using a battery charger as the power source with the negative lead on the part to be cleaned...you are saying that as far as reversing polarity with my rectifier, i should do the opposite and connect the positive lead to the part to be cleaned? is this correct?
thanks

Tim;
You are quite welcome.. Hope I helped..
I probably shouldn't have included the "polarity" comment in the post.. It was intended to (1) mention the "reversing" switch that's on my Plating Power Supply that (2) is used for electro-stripping (which I understand uses an electroplating bath).. totally different than electrolysis. Plus, after re-reading what I wrote, it is totally confusing (hey, it was 3AM!!)... bad case of trying to stick in some additional, non-related info and totally screwing up.. Follow the instructions laid-out in the links I sent you..
Sorry for the confusion.
With respect to using a Battery Charger (or an Arc Welder), I've read that people have used these tools with success, given the general "lack of fininte" amperage control, I'd stick with the plating rectifier, assuming the part doesn't exceed the ampeage limits of the rectifier..
