Stripping chrome/nickel plating

(1/2) > >>

gmac:
Anyone know how to strip chrome or nickel plate from a frame ? I know I could just hand it over to the chromers, but I don't want it rechroming again, plus they take for ever to do anything. Just spoke with a media blasters, and they say no way will it touch chrome, which explains why my little home blast cabinet just laughs at it too  >:(

I know caustic soda takes care of anno, but does it work with other finishes ?
Help please ?

Cheers

Its a bitch to get off.

I have got it off some cranks before with glass paper, but it took forever, the best way is to let the chromerist do it, the bloke up this way does a frame, fork and bars for a tenner.

It is a real pain...

You really need a full workshop with solutions / baths to get rid of it in all the nooks and crannies, it is a real pain if you are after a proper job.

Easiest to leave it to the pro's with the right equipment.

As a guide, I was quoted £30 for F&F and bars recentley (Hertfordshire).

orb wheres up your way?

handing over a tenner sounds way more fun than standing at my work bench rubbing away.
