J.KYDD Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wanting to strip my lever blades back to silver. Are they painted or anodised? (don't have any to hand right now) Cheeeers 'en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Just sand them, it'll take less than 15minutes with some fine sand paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Anodised. Sanding will take longer and look worse than caustic soda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 A year or so ago I did it with very fine grade paper in 15mins or so and had a high polish after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 As long as it's caustic it should work, if not you can get a tub of granules from B&Q for a few quid (enough to strip bloody loads of stuff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Popped them in some caustic soda earlier on tonight, came out perfect. This was my first play with soda and good god, that shits nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybs41282 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Got a pic dude? I'm tempted to do this. Can you do this to Maggy slaves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Noob question, would stripping with caustic soda leave the surface with a 'key' to paint onto, or would it want sanding as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
