'Well it's had it's (citric) bath but the next day the chrome had lifted in places... 'Just copied this from another thread, not saying you guys aren't correct! Assume the risk is low, but seems like there is a risk. Unless soemthing else made the chrome lift..
Will only lift the chrome if its loose in the first place
Just use Citric acid! cheaps as chips, works a treat, doesnt damage anything and safe enough to drink

He had to rechrome his frame after citric bath apparently..You've found one thread on this forum where the chrome has lifted after a citric/oxalic bath (the chrome obviously had issues in the first place). Dig a little deeper and you could probably find hundreds of threads on here where members have used this method without any issues whatsoever... it is recommended because it has been tried and tested many times. Btw if you wanna use tin foil to remove rust from a chrome frame you crack on mate but giving duff infomation out to fellow members on here isn't the done thing so do us all a favour and keep your old wives tales to yourself... thanks.
