One way or the other I'll let you know the results together with any further information I may happen to come across...
Understood and much appreciated Tom, you were clear it was my follow up that lacked clarity. I'm going to do some tests on a few old blades over very long periods (say up to 1 month at a time) of continuous electrolysis just to see what the effect is on the blade and teeth and whether the teeth...
Thanks Tom and all who answered.
From what you say Tom the metal will suffer some type of breakdown and thats what I was interested in. If the blades are in the solution for only 10-15 minutes I wonder how much/little breakdown would occur? We were looking to use this process purely for...
Hi Mike,
I've completed a few tests and have found that within 20-30 minutes most of the sap and resin is removed and floating on top of the water/sodium carbonate brew as a scum. That part of the process seems to work very well. I'm just not sure whether the blade or any of its components will...
Hello,
