Tbh im surprised it worked so well on the hard anno , i had a set of hard anno'd pro class rims and they were a right ballache to strip ...... nearly as bad as chrome ! I can't remember if i gave up in the end and there probably still in my garage somewhere :D
Glad to hear the water wasn't boiling B ..... lethal combination , especially indoors aswell :crazy2:

Well don't forget this is on alloy and it might be different on other metals
I know there is a reaction when doing the hard anno process and that the Caustic soda changes that process again due to it reacting to the alloy !
I have a tange nut with the hard anno on it - will try it when I get a chance
Doing it the way I did, there was quite some reaction - so please do it outside and safely :crazy2: ;D
please also post up if you try and find out any thing yourselves :daumenhoch:

Oven pride is nicely packaged and in a bag for a reason ........ the ladies use it around the kitchen so it doesn't damage there freshly manicured nails ::) Caustic is in a plain white bottle with a skull and crossbones on the front 8)
Defo use it outside , if you inhale a good mouthful of the fumes it literally takes your breath away !!
