I have a 45 gallon drum of this stuff in the shop, and it does work well. As mentioned, it will not cut oil/grease/paint, just rust.

The mix ratio I have heard is 6 water to 1 molasses..so 6:1 ratio..

build a box

Find a good old liner like a pool liner or some heavy plastic to line it with..

Stuff all your rust in..

Mix up your molasses 6:1

Pour your stuff in and start cooking..You can reuse and reuse and you don't have to put your stuff in first..

and ala-kazoo you must know the correct words..ALA-KAZOOO & HOKEY SHAZAM.....

now get em wiped down and get a coat of primer on them or get them in the sun to dry..easy as pie..

 

Non toxic, non corrosive, not harmful to the environment, does not warp panels, and pretty cheap I think somebody told me he bought like about 10 jugs for less than 100 bucks..

 

chuk

For those that are thinking of picking up Molasses, I have heard it is beast to get feed Molasses

Check your local TSC or Co-Op I have heard that it is cheaper at Co-Op.

Sorry but water and an electric charge and me will not end up very well....... I am trying the molasses now and will let it sit another day or two and see how it makes out. Thanks for the lead on the feed store, could get very expensive at the grocery store.

let us know how the BEE's like it

You guys have all got chicken $hit in your blood. You don't plug it into a receptacle, but usually use a battery charger etc. Look it up.

as parklane suggested look up electrolysis.there is a ton of info and it works I have used it for years.make a note of what to use as anode it can be pored on grass when used up.it does not work any faster with a bigger charger.it has limits but is safe to use.this coming from a cave man.[read as wire brush and lots of dust and spit]

Frank, you probably aren't old enough to remember, but waayyyy back when, there was a product called 20 Mule Team Borax. This is the same stuff as washing soda. I read one article years ago, where a real big vat was made out of lumber, and heavy plastic. It was big enough to immerse (nice big word eh) his frame. Anyway, he used a welder for the power source, and apparently worked very well.

 John,

Come on now, I'm not wet behind the ears either. 

I do know about 20 Mule as It is the best weed killer out there. Especially in areas where you have no grass because it will kill the grass too. 
PS: I'm not responsible if someone tries this at home.   Apparently nothing will grow in the area for 5 to 7 years.

I just wasn't aware that it's the same stuff.

Ran into an old timer in New Mexico a few weeks ago, he had a 45 gallon drum and said he mixed the feed 1 pound to 1 gallon of water.  The key to this method is to have patience,  he had a 34 Studebaker jack that had been soaking for two weeks............it looked like new

When I was building my 29 I built a tank out of a few shipping pallets. I only needed it about 10 inches deep cuz everything was flat…doors, quarters, trunk lid etc.. Worked out just great.
I don't see why it wouldn't work INSIDE a gas tank. Just make sure you've got a vent of some sort

I bought a 5 gal can of Molasses from our local farm supply and mixed it 8 parts water to 1 part molasses. Did a great job and then poured it in the bush as it is non toxic.
