Dear Gallots:

Since I've been partially responsible for spreading the word about the
use of electrolysis I've asked George Langford (and he has graciously
agreed) to write a concise treatise on the process of avoiding the
problem of hydrogen embrittlement after electrolysis.

Basically this will include the basic science and its practical
application to the cleaning of our old tools as it's been discussed for
the past few days.

Once written, I will post it as an addendum to the instructions for
electrolysis on my Rusty Tool Restoration web site for all to refer to
at their leisure. Look for it soon on a computer near you.
