[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 878982, member: 39764"] Read my comments above HarperC.... You don't want big 'power' as in amperage because the amperage causes the heat during electrolysis and becaue the bore holds a minimal amount of electrolyte, boiling it off is a bad thing. You want a slow steady input in milliamps to provide a slow, steady transfer, Nothing more. Big juice, besides boiling the electrolyte and causing it to gas off would probably etch the bore. SAdditionally, if you seal the bore on both ends (instead of just the chamber end, gassing off will cause a 'firecracker' effect as the pressure will 'pop the plug', whichever end is easier to unseat. All the commercial units that I see on the net are milliamp output. Thats plenty.... better to err on the side of conservative. You aren't anodizing. I have a Hawkeye so I may get one and report back. I have not had any copper issues but then I clean my bores after every shoot, whether it's a couple shots or just one. Contrary to a lot of folks on here, I use Hoppes. Never had an issue and it smells good too. I lloked at the Outers and the Love my Gun unit. Alos looked at many home brew variations. One thing in common across the board, all employ milliamp power supplies. If I was to make a hone brew unit and use my anodizing power supply, it would be short duration at what it will output at minimum..., 2 amps. I believe I'd have a 'look see' inside after 5 minutes, check the solution temperature and see how the reaction was progressing. [/QUOTE]
