anyone know if the oven pride trick works ok on these?
wasn't sure if they were hard ano or not (and whether that makes any difference)
thenk you please
-
oven pride should do the trick. :daumenhoch: btw MIGHT have a black,tuff neck style seat clamp for you as well!!
-
Oven pride works mate, but I use caustic soda which is the agent in oven pride that does the stripping. You can get it from most chemist, b&q etc.
Just do it outside with gloves and googles and don't stand there breathing in the vapour! ;)
my thread on polishing rims shows the process.
Less hassle is to take them to a powder coater and get them 'aqua blastered', they guy I use charges £10 for 2 rims - lot less bother but not as much fun!
Enjoy!

Dave you're too much - I should just bring that frame back round yours and let you build it :2funny:
(well I will be knocking your door no doubt when it's time to fit the beartrap headset that's going on it ::) :-[)

i used caustic soda to strip my rims last week, in my shed with the door closed and no gloves or goggles while smoking a fag. got a great hit of it. :daumenhoch:

impressive, now if you had somehow introduced a cat/brand new quilt cover into the mix that could have netted you a prize :4_17_5:
