Hi,
My son has a new hobby - restoring old German WWII helmets. He is using electrolysis to remove the rust but asked me to post the following question on the forum:
"After electrolysis, does the black rust that is left, damage the metal?"
His thinking is, once the rust has been removed, to fill the cracks/bullet holes etc with metal filler, sand, and then paint.
Any advice (useful, thank you Benny) would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Merrian
