    August 6th and I have a finished product.  Hard to capture a pic but have to say I am really surprised by how it cleaned up.  After the last electrolysis run I washed it out with clean water and dried it to get a better sense of the condition.  Looked good but still had some light rust down in some seams and some old gummy residue in the bottom. Poured in a gallon of cleaning vinegar and rotated it to let it sit for about 1/2 on each surface. Damn close to perfect.  Mixed up some baking soda and water to neutralize the vinegar and rinsed it out.  Finished it off by hitting all the surfaces with fogging oil to prevent flash rust.
