for you restore guys

[brandosfiero]

well ive been using this for years and allways works awsome.first get any bucket and go buy some works the blue and white bottle.its only 94 cents a bottle.put your parts in for about an hour and it should take all rust off everywhere.only use this on parts you will paint because it will rust again if you dont.after that just rinse with water to get the works off.just thoght some of you guys might like to try this out. i put some before and after pictures up so you can see what it looks like.

[atctim]

Looks like a Ronco ad to me - great tip though!@!!!!!!

you mean the cleaner called the works at the dollar store?

[brandosfiero]

yes its the toilet cleaner.they sell it at any grocery stoers and wallmart

[brandosfiero]

and dont get it on cement either it will eat away the cement if you leave it sit

[CHAINSAW]

Wow.. that stuff looks just like the Acid I use at work.

[83200e]

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to put my sand blaster aside and try that with my next
restore which is getting close.

Its just like hydrocloric acid isnt it? EVen if you paint over the top of it when its not corroded, it still corrodes underneath your paint and eventually the paint will flake, its not huge amounts of corrosion but it does corrode, i know from experience. A sandblaster is alot better and the paint sticks better to a blasted surface also, the sandblaster is just not as efficient. Im not trying to knock your methods mate just saying what ive been through from experience.

I beleive that the "Works" toilet bowl cleaner is 23% hydrochloric acid. Skip the grocery store, and spend $1.50 on a gallon of Muratic acid at any hardware store. Its 4x the strength, just dilute with water 4:1. Wear gloves and googles with either system, this concentration of acid takes only minutes to burn skin and seconds to cause permanent damage to eyes.

That struff sounds awsome.

Also, do not breath in any of the fumes from muratic acid, I know from experience, very nasty headache.

Will the stuff work to remove the camo paint off my YTM200?

i dout it i only use this on steel and to clean alluminum not to remove paint

[OldSchoolin86]

Easy-off oven cleaner usualy works. Just be careful, it can burn your skin.

Hey on your camo paint on the plastic. I have found that you can you an aerosol can of Aircraft brand stippper. Not the regular aircraft stripper, but the stripper for decals, stickers, varnish etc. The paint supply place carries it locally. Its not harsh enough to eat the plastic like the regular stipper, but it will eat that crap spraycan paint.

Sorry for bringing this post back up. I want to know if I were to soak a metal gas tank in "the works", would it get the paint off the outside of the tank? Will it come out clean and bare?

[Oldshell4481]

i havce no clue, but this stuff at the auto store called low odor air craift remover works wonders, kinda nasty to wipe off though, comes in a can or a spray can. i used it on mine.. seein as how this post is up, anyone tried the works with a ball of aluminum foil in a soda bottle shake it up, set it down, and stand a good distance away and watch the bottle explode??? fun fun.

There is a short video on ebum of kids doing that with aluminum and acid. It blew up in the kids face!!! If your going to offer advice try some that will not cause bodily harm to anyone. :rolleyes:

[Oldshell4481]

its reaction isnt that quick so you have time to get away. i dunno wasnt meant to cause harm just some easy entertainment for me and the friends.

I got one too to do.

[TRI Z Racer]

what would be the best way to strip all the paint off a set of completely stripped cases? i can get them bead blasted but then the threaded holes get all filled up and a ******* to clean. would taht aircraft stripper do the trick? anyone ever took them down to bare aluminum?

[Oldshell4481]

that aircraft remover is extremely potent, we put some on the hood of my friends old truck and it ate through all the layers, my guess is that it would work. be careful though, my hands were burning all night from not using gloves which it would probably eat through.

[TRI Z Racer]

what about muriatic acid? would that take paint off or just eat the aluminum and ruin the gasket surfaces?

[Trackburger]

I used brake fluid to remove the camo off my "R". It was strong enough to soften the paint, but not strong enough to hurt the plastic. :beer

[Meat-BoX]

Hmm If I were to stuff a body in there would it come out like nice bleach white bones? Seriously use that stuff and a sandblaster and your good to go. Brake Fluid is for getting even with someone by squirting nasty words on their car. It eats it away bad. Im to lazy so I just had mine Acid dipped Blasted and PowderCoated.
