Get a DC converter like the one used on a train set. Cut the connector off,
separate the wires, and strip them both.
Now you need a jar of water with a tablespoon or so of sodium chloride
(which is SALT!) added to it. This makes the water conductive.
Now insert both wires into the mixture (I am assuming you plugged the
converter in...) and let them sit for five minutes. One of them will start
bubbling more than the other. This is the POSITIVE(+) wire. If you do not do
this test right, the final product will be the opposite (chemically) of
rust, which is RUST ACID. You have no use for this here (although it IS
useful!).
Anyway, put the metaltied to the positive wire into the jar. Now put the
negative wire in the other end..it will get coverd in rust
separate the wires, and strip them both.
