I am very much interested in this topic as I have a very rusted axe head that I want to at least stabilize. It is flaking apart and I think if I did the electrolysis thing I would not have much left.  
 
 I have thought about the distilled water soak followed by baking and then wax but I am learning from this thread first. 
 
Does the paraloid B-72 provide much structural stability for a fragile item?
