Stage 2:
I 'm now happy that all of the deep marks are out - they look patchy to say the least, but ready for the next stage.
This is the secret solution, most use 'Oven Pride', which contains about 17% caustic soda and it's this that removes the anno not the rest of the crap in it. You can get this from any chemist, just read the label and respect it! I get as many items together as possible and then use the liquid to clean the drains after as well. It's cheaper and it will take about 1 to 2 hrs to strip the rims, not over night! :daumenhoch:
Other Items you need; Gloves,mask,googles, mixing stick and a plastic container you can stand the rims in.
I stand them up, so I have more control rather than having the rims submerged, it also keeps them separated and allows me to spin each rim as the anno is removed (it's not unusual for one to strip faster than the other).
Put about 4 and half litres of water (warm) in to the tub and mixed about 200g of caustic soda.
Stand back and watch the vapour begin to raise, this is the solution begining to work.
Rotate the wheels, roughly every tens minutes..
It took about 45mins to get the rims totally clean and stripped, rinse everything down with loads of clean water and thats it!!
