Hello, I am currently treating a 150 lb Campo for rusting problems.
It will take about 6 months, an it is currently into its 4th month. I will post the results. Also, the NaOH solution that I have used can also be use in an electrolytic process where the meteorite becomes the anode and the offending chlorine ions are driven out of the specimen. I have not tried this yet, and have chosen to use the passive method of letting the specimen sit in the solution for extended lenghts of time.
