How To Cut Steel With Electrolysis [Experiment In Progress] - NightHawkInLight

Cutting steel with electricity and water. I've been playing with this method for the past few weeks and am having some trouble, but I know it's possible.
Check out this video to see where I got my inspiration: https://youtu.be/jEnNMTMZadw
I tried this same method at one point a few years ago and had better results than I have so far been able to replicate in my latest experiments. Possible causes that I'm considering:
1. The metal etching paint formula has been changed
2. Paint requires a longer time to cure
3. Baking soda is not an acceptable replacement for salt (I used baking soda in these latest tests because it does not produce chlorine gas as NaCl does)
