With that mask, them pugil sticks and the (slight) resemblance to Hulk Hogan, I've got to ask the question.

Do you own a leotard?

My old grandad (god bless 'im) used to tell me that the wrestling was DEADLY serious and that they got physically injured in every bout doing the boston crab, half and full nelson.

Who was the bloke who used to do wrestle under one name and then put a different colour leotard and a mask on and then he'd be someone else, I always wondered why them two never fought each other!

Kendo Nagasaki was it?

i've used them oven cleaning kits in the past for getting the anno off.
comes with a nice plastic bag and gloves.
so no worries getting splashed or any fumes

a step by step how to de annodise
1)you will need a bowl or bucket a good pair of rubber gloves a scotch bright pad caustic soda tongs and a mask and some parts to strip!!!
2) fill bowl or bucket with cold water enough to cover parts being stripped always add caustic to water never add water to caustic!!!!!!!! its up to you how much caustic you put in its just trial and error i.e pro class rims took twice as long because they were hard anno.
3)do this in a well ventilated area it gives off some nasty fumes (thats what the masks for)
now drop parts in ,with in a minute or so the water will start to bubble, using tongs remove item to check, do this frequently until all anno is gone, if bits remain scrub with scotch bright it helps to loosen anno and re soak
4)once all anno is removed wash with warm water to neutralize,you may find some parts go black dont worry this is only a film on top of part (see hubs) just rub with scotch bright and it will come off
5)then all thats left to do is polish the fook out of it ,real bling!!!!!!!!!
