E tank revisited

[groundhog47 347]

We've seen the discussion about using graphite bars or stock to ease the cleaning process on the positive side. Ya'll may have read, tried, or done this before but in case... 

As I call myself "Recycler" I valiantly try to live up to it and nave a bunch of rusty stuff. Well I take a fairly large piece that will fit in E bucket, put post lead on it and neg on the old pos side. After awhile another part is ready to clean without having to get those used to be nasty pieces out. Then I have a while to let the sacrificial part dry and save for next time after cleaned or use another piece of junk. On the bad side more time is lost flip floppin.    

Don't have a sand blaster YET, it's on the get list.

OK Gerry...for those of us that have never heard of or tried graphite bars...what made you start this thread??    Graphite bars??  Are we cutting the heads off of golf clubs now??    It has been a while since we have talked...how you doing??

Doin great Steve, and you, how goes it?  Someone was lucky enough to find and use graphite bars for anode on e tank. Fairly old post, but I hadn't forgotten and continued search for some. They are pricy and rare it seems, so sometime back I tried this discussed method. Last week on another run it worked great. From my previous runs it was long and drawn out even with this method.  

For the graphite users though this method is moot as they only need wipe or pressure wash the anodes.

It appears Craig has tried the graphite, outcome unknown.
