You know, I almost forgot about one way to do it, but it will take just a
bit of elbow grease.
I have a link to a site (hidden deep somewhere in this wonderful filing
cabinet AOL provides) that utilizes a battery charger, a plastic vat/tub, and
a piece of SS (old pots and pans do great, it says). Add a little baking
powder I belive, and you're all set.
I think the title of the article was "Electrolysis made easy", when I find
the link I'll post it.
