You could also get it made a little smaller and save some weight from it. www.leesonbikes.co.uk Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Get some caustic soda from a hardware store, mix it into a solution , slosh it onto the bash, and hey presto the anodising has gone :- just make shure you ware gloves as it is a very strong alkali and can/will melt your skin (Y) sam Edited December 3, 2005 by wad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 If you want to save money you can use sandpaper and wirewool my mate did his bash from blue to silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Oven cleaner will fetch it off. Or Wet n' Dry. Or Leeson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 caustic soda is a beast!! I love the stuff, eats aluminium for lunch (Y) would be perfect for getting the annodising off your bash. (but dont mix it in an aluminium tray, I found out that hard way lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Oven cleaner will fetch it off. Or Wet n' Dry. Or Leeson. would that get the green stuff off my t-pro ? might get away with doing that in the kitchen ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
