How to remove Rust from a Camp Oven

[@mallacey7621]

Looks so good I can’t believe how well it came up

[@glenbaker4024]

Absolutely bloody OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Thanks Ron.

Hi Ron when I last spoke to you about the rusty oven I sent the pictures of it to you ,a little while back you said that you were going to do a video on electrolysis glad you got around to doing this video I should have sent you mine to you for the video the one you used was in heaps better condition than mine it would be interesting to see how it would look after being in your set up might have to check a few things out on mine thanks for the video cheers mate

[@campovenking]

@spiked4000 I've since done a really rusty one. I will be posting the results here soon. Yeah and I remember you asking about it and I knew at the time those video was about to happen. Thanks for the follow and comments. Cheers

So, when does 'Rons camp oven restoration services' have their grand opening? 😂

[@campovenking]

haha, my average wait time is about 3 years, id recommend someone else over me

Just finished watching and commenting on the Guinness stew (I too love a Guinness or 3) and this was in my sub feed. Excellent!

[@campovenking]

I will have part 3 coming out too, im filming now and will put it up when I can. Probably tomorrow

[@BradGryphonn]

@@campovenking I'll shoot a short video of how neglected my cheap Chinese one is. Suffice to say, it's thick and gungy red/orange.

Pretty sure the sacrificial anode would be the oven itself 😊

[@andrewsymons3819]

Definitely do it in a well ventilated area. The gas bubbles being released are hydrogen which can cause quite a bang if ignited. ( yes I tried with a bbq lighter ) 1 tablespoon of washing soda for every 3 to 4 litres of water for those making a smaller setup.

cheers

The electrolysis looks like it worked great on the camp oven. Certainly beats other methods.

[@campovenking]

Yeah I gave up on the other methods years ago. Electrolysis is just too easy and too effective even whenI was using an old arlec charger.

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Power supply, the current control knob. What it is, you can not control current. It's a current limiter. So you're building an electronic circuit, and you're at the stage to hook up to power. You turn the current down, so if there is a fault, it will not be able to travel through killing a lot more of the circuit. Just fault area.

[@campovenking]

Thanks for that. I will make sure I follow that procedure. I did start with everything off and wound them on as that was how I was shown to do it but I didnt know why. Cheers

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

You turn current to high, then adjust your voltage. Watch when the oven starts to see bubbles are coming off. If it does not, just leave the voltage knob too high. The power supply should have temperature safety protection. It will switch if it is too high. It will start again when cooled down.

[@glenbaker4024]

What’s the best voltage and amperage for this type of electrolysis?

[@campovenking]

Thaks for that. Yeah nosign of heat anywhere, its running real smooth. Im very impressed

[@BradGryphonn]

Bugger! I've had a very old 12 volt, 4 amp power supply for years. Would you believe I gave it away 3 months ago because I couldn't think of a use for it.

[@glenbaker4024]

Bad move Brad but I sympathise; I gave my old charger to a friend when I bought a ‘better’ one. I hate the bloody thing, too smart for its own good. A trick I’ve learned is when trying to charge a totally flat battery you can connect a 9v to the chargers leads when they’re attached to the battery and it will fool the charger into starting to charge.

[@BradGryphonn]

@glenbaker4024 Hehe. I have a 'Kickass' brand 22 amp smart charger. It's pretty good. Does lead acid, AGM, and Lithium. It has a setting to reset LiPos when drop into safe mode, I'm yet to test completely dead regular battery though.

[@glenbaker4024]

@@BradGryphonn If it’s anything like mine it’ll just sit there and look at you and be completely unresponsive. Just realised I’m describing my wife and the charger; I wonder if I hooked her up to a battery if she’d liven up a bit.

[@campovenking]

@@glenbaker4024 🤣🤣🤣

[@campovenking]

haha aint that the way of it. And I spent two years trying to find one after I lost mine. But no regrets now, this power supply unit is sooo much better than the old arlec.
