Yep - I can agree with this not being a common cleaning tool. What it did do was save a dead gun from deactivation. I don't think anyone would have ever cleaned mine this well otherwise and it would have been junked. Lots of life left in it though!

Just a heads up for the OP - was doing some more reading and using stainless steel in this process can be dangerous. Creates a poisonous gas and solution that's harmful to most things and hard to get rid of, so plain iron or regular steel is better for the electrode (and avoid doing this to stainless guns altogether I assume).
The gas formed is hexavalent chromium and the solution has chromium in it. In small amounts it's tolerable, but seeing as it's an easily avoided problem, may as well not take the risk.
Still, the process works like a hot damn.
