Cauldron electrolysis

Hi all. I have a 20 gallon antique cauldron. The outside is fine, and I managed to get most of the rust out of the inside of it with a scouring bit, but there is still a light rusty sheen. I'm thinking of doing electrolysis to get rid of the last bit of rust. I have no container large enough to submerge this beast (it's too heavy, anyway), so I'm wondering if filling it with a water/washing soda mix, setting it on the ground and charging just the inside would be safe and/or effective. Thoughts? I appreciate the help. Cheers.

Yes. Just suspend the sacrificial electrode like rebar (positive) in the center of the pot not touching the bottom and it will work perfectly.
