Last night, I decided that I'd run the rusty iron skeleton key (which I found last week) through electrolysis. But first, I thought I'd throw it in the bucket of 50/50 muriatic acid and water I have out back for soaking old bottles. Thought maybe I'd get a bit of rust off for better contact with the wires. Annnnnd I went on to doing something else, completely forgot about it, and left it there overnight.
This morning I remembered I'd left it in the acid and completely expected it to have been dissolved down to a pile of iron bits. And actually, it turned out pretty well with just the acid (don't forget the baking soda water dip...)! Before and after photos below.
