Caustic Fun
« on: March 04, 2006, 08:08 PM »
Well, I had this:



but red is poo, and it is a tad scratched, so into a vat of soda, here is 10 seconds into it:



20 Seconds:



Fish it out and have a looksie:



Couple more seconds for luck:



Rinsed under boiling water and a swift wipe with a Brillo Pad:



Will polish out the scratches and make it bling tomorrow







Oh, for all you caustic virgins, here is what i did:

-Jam jar, 2 table spoons of crystals, add cold water 3/4 to the top and mix it up with a fork.
-Get a baking tray that needs a clean and put the chain ring on in, and tip the caustic soda mix on.
-Cough like fook as you are in the kitchen.
-Tip the whole lot into the sink and tip a boiling kettle over it and then run the taps for a min or 2.
-Done.

Caustic will strip paint, but it has to be made VERY strong and it takes forever.

Nitromors is the nuts for paint :)

cool, how long did you leave them in for or do you just keep an eye on them and take them out often to check if its doing the job.
