Can the output of the cutout be grounded, or a load placed in line ?

Not familiar with thermocure, but EvapoRust does work reasonably well with deep seated rust. You do need to agitate it occasionally and drain the sludge out of the lower areas, as it works. I used it on my Mack water jackets with reasonable results. I plugged the bottom drain and filled it a couple ...

The Mack is a 471 cid (5x6)
I tried to clear coat the polished carb, but after a year of running it, the heat and gas have pretty well returned it to what it was before cleaning it. Oh, well, it runs !

Lab Metal.
Just use their solvent, and make sure the surface is clean. After it sets, you can grind, file, drill, mill, or machine it any way you desire.
Works great for key ways, hollowed out holes, etc.
