I drained it and scraped out the several cups of rust in the bottom. Searching for a suitable replacement took me to several places in town. A 17 gallon bin from the discount store was not big enough to fit the wheel and clear the cable I&#8217;m using for the anode. I found a proper sized tub at the local farm supply store. Twenty Five gallons in size and made of 100% recycled plastic for a modest $21. Yay.<br \/>\nI set up the second wheel in the new bin and reconnected the battery charger. Unlike the first time when the ammeter showed a 6 amp draw, this time it only showed a 3 amp draw. Perhaps because I didn&#8217;t add as much of the OxyClean as before. Anyway, the process continued, although a bit more slowly. After leaving it in the bin overnight, I pulled the rim out and gave it a look. It was pretty clean considering the extent of the corrosion that was under the inner tube. About 20% of the rim still had corrosion on it.<br \/>\nI scrubbed the rim with a wire brush and hosed off the grey iron oxide. Not much of the red rust remained, but there was some left. Most of what remained had been turned into a black\/grey form of iron oxide. Some parts of the wheel looked as clean and bright as brand new, other parts show substantial surface pitting. Since I&#8217;ll be running inner tubes, I&#8217;m not so concerned about absolute perfection of the rim. I believe that it will be quite satisfactory. I&#8217;m not sure how much the power will cost to derust all my wheels, but at 38 cents per KwH, it&#8217;s not insignificant. Still, it won&#8217;t be a deal breaker.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m thinking about paint options, what type of primer, what color to paint the wheels. I have a color scheme in mind, more on that later.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-216 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-with-wheel.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[216]\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-with-wheel-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-213\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-213'>\n\t\t\t\tThis is very roomy\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-with-whel-and-water.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[216]\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-with-whel-and-water-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-214\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-214'>\n\t\t\t\tThe new tub with wheel and water.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-starting-to-work.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[216]\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-starting-to-work-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-211\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-211'>\n\t\t\t\tA fresh set of bubbles\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-working.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[216]\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/new-tub-working-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-212\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-212'>\n\t\t\t\tStarting to see some rust in the bubbles.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/bubbles-new-tub-3.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[216]\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/newian.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/bubbles-new-tub-3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-215\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-215'>\n\t\t\t\tStarting to get some bubble action\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had a bit of a setback, the wheelbarrow has sprung a leak while working on the second wheel.
