Chrome stripping for parts prep up ?
« on: August 26, 2008, 06:22:29 pm »
The rust removal vid was very interesting !!! (still like molasses or blasting myself?)

Now how do you self strip chrome to do your own surface prep as that is where the money is if you are having to re-plate parts - I did it years ago with an old battery, copper plate and earth wire but the whole deal now escapes me (Alzheimer's , lol)

sulphuric acid
