any chance that could be polished /dremeled (?) out..? ...if it's not too deep, i mean, and that is the only spot on the rims.

I think 36 hours...
It said overnight on box, but i went on to work on Saturday morning totally forgetting about it... :idiot2:
It came out of the bag like this...
A quick wash...
Then 4 hours of wire wool/wet&dry...
The whole rim is pitted...
Got a Dremmel to try tomorrow...
But it may be fooked...
Superbikedan wants to see if he can work some magic on it, but i'm waiting till i get another rim and can send then him over the 3 of them in case it doesn't powder coat too good...
fischflo:
yikes -- fingers crossed, and if Dan says nay, maybe the pits don't jump to the eye (..so much..) if you give the rims a brushed finish ......? ->http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,166650.0.html
...Just to minimize the damage .....
36 hours :LolLolLolLol:

:shocked: :crazy2: :D
I find if you put the item in the bag and work on it with your fingers, it will speed the whole process. I recently done a spider and just put it in a tub and worked the liquid with a toothbrush. It took about 10 minutes to completely remove all the anno :daumenhoch:
GavinDavis:
Wow!!! 36hrs?? Thats HARDCORE! Lol
At least the rims came out in one piece.....i was expecting a dissolved mountain of metal ;D
laidback:
ooops :-\
If it makes you feel any better, i stripped the anno off some Ukai/Peregrine rims with Caustic soda...a weak mix. I left them for about an hour, turning as i went and they still came out pitted. Hours and hours spent polishing afterwards, and they are still a little pitted.
Live and learn. Should have got the Mrs to do it...They're pretty good at using products such as Oven Pride :Aresehole:
