Electrolysis Coin / Artefact Cleaning Kit

Recommended Posts

Given the technique requires that you have to scrape the surface to get down to bare metal for the circuit to function, I hope you include a warning not use this on decent coins. Whilst it will obviously work on any piece of metal once you have connected the lead to the original fabric of the object, the fact that it works by removing a layer of metal means that this method ought to be used with extreme caution. If you have an area of thick encrustaion whereas another part of the item has none, you will be removing the surface preferentially at the already clean metal as this will readily go into solution whilst the encrustation will protect the surface at the point where you need the action most of all. As I see it, this would be ok for low grade or fairly undesirable items, but you would need to seriously think whether to treat a quality piece in this manner.

I'm afraid I have deleted the three other threads advertising your electrolysis kit Paul.

I felt that one was sufficient since the link you provide will take interested parties to your ebay listing and I didn't want people to get the impression you were just spamming.

If you have additional products of a similar nature, perhaps just add them in a reply in this thread in future?
