Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) is the ingredient in Mr Muscle that strips the anno. Difference is, is you can buy a shed load of Caustic for the same price as one lot of Mr Muscle :)

Post by: adenough on November 19, 2012, 07:25 PM: It won't harm most plastics,but you have to be careful with alloy,to long and any threads e.g. Stems & levers will be eaten :daumenhoch:

Post by: jT Racing on November 20, 2012, 12:56 PM: Caustic will also remove the flesh from your bones, so be careful you crazy kids. Ad caustic to water and not the other way round. If you make a strong mix, it takes seconds to remove and if left too long will dissolve your part.
