paint removal?
dordymush:
does it bubble or anything tom to let you know when there getting to it.also how did you polish them up. oli the orb said to use wire wool.
The-flying-banana:
Ok dave use a litre of cold water to a tea spoon of caustic attach part to a zip tie or summit so you can bring it out without burning your hand.
Drop it in then you will see it start to bubble "the water" and the water will change colour usually the colour your taking off leave it for around 45sec and pull it out.
If there still anodizing on it dont worry as it will come right off as soon as you touch it with wire wool then you will need brasso waddind also known as duraglit and polish away till your hearts contenet ;)
They say alloy is better than chrome as there's no limit to it shine but it does take a bid of elbow grease 8)
dordymush:
cheers are tom.i'll try it tomorrow :).
The-flying-banana:
Ps dave once you pull part out rinse well with clear water to get caustic off or it just keeps going ;D
its like the terminator dave it will not STOP ;D

Hi ;)
You need to be careful of the fumes with caustic, plus your skin, plus your items.
If you have a painted item, Paramose is great stuff - http://www.paramose.com/ and has different products for different uses.
I've not used this but it's meant to be good - http://www.ecosolutions.co.uk/Home-BaseB.htm
