Don't you just love electrolysis

You're correct that the electrodes do not need to be line of sight, electrons / ions will flow through the electrolyte no matter what. What does make a difference to the speed of the process is the proximity of the electrode to the parent metal, (the closer the better), but don't get hung up on line of sight. Also be aware that the closer the electrodes are the more current that will be drawn with the potential to overload whatever supply you are using.

Regards Mick

Quite right Mick, made me laugh when someone on another site said this, it's an electrical process, not an optical one!

Nice job on the vice Lee. I've used the process myself a few times but would never have expected your vice to turn out so well!
