Rusty Gussett

<< < (3/4) > >>

Clean:

Just be careful with the Oxalic Acid, mate..... :10_2_12:

Remember you will probably be mixing your own by dissolving powder in water, and thus the concentration will have a direct impact on how long you can leave it safely before marking the chrome. I have yet to find any decent guidance on dilution factors, timings etc. on the net.  :(

I did my DB with a mix a little too strong, and even after only an hour I had marked the chrome (well, nickel actually); it will discolour as the acid promotes oxidation of the component materials. I discovered that a lot of working at it with Peek and elbow grease removed the marks, and blinged everything up.  :daumenhoch:

Works wonders on the rust, though!  :angel:

Finally, and at risk of being accused of being boring, remember you are working with aggressive chemicals and take appropriate measures (gloves, etc.). Avoid breathing the nasty fumes it will give off, too; they won't get you high, but will make you ill.

2 or 3 litre pop bottle, cut the top off, tip in one tub of brewers/winemakers citric acid, (50g about a quid from wilkinsons) add water (just a few cup fulls), jam front end of frame in the mix and leave overnight. Job done  :daumenhoch:
