| DE-anodizing without oven cleaner
Don't now if has been discussed here or not but there is an easy way to de-anodize your aluminum parts without using oven cleaner. First pick up yourself up some Greased Lightning and put it in a plastic bowl of some sorts. Then place your aluminum parts into the Greased Lightning Let it soak for about 15 to 30 minutes or so slightly agitating the parts now and then. After about 5 minutes you can see a difference here they are after a half an hour. be sure to rinse them well after removing them and then polish them up! |

I sanded mine off, this looks way faster. Who sells greased lightning?

I used draino on mine...but the same method, soak for a half hour agitating once in awhile. Greased lightning is probably a little less toxic though. |

I'll have to try the the drano but I wouldn't want to get that on my skin. the Greased Lightning is safe enough to put your hands in at least. I didn't have any problem with the etching they seemed to clean up quite easily. bottom two haven't been touched, the rest I hit with some mothers billet polish and the dremel real quick |

Those look great......I don't remove anodizing much, but I think I like this idea better than Drano or Oven Cleaner. Thanks for the tip!

I could not have read this thread at a better time. Here is my question once back to natural metal what do you think would be the best paint for my beadlock rings? |

Yup I saw this on this month's issue of RC Driver when they were deanodizing a Savage. Turned out pretty clean too. Is it just me or does Easy Off smell kinda chalky and vanilla?

I did a set of upper and lower links with draino and all they needed was a quick scrub with 1000 grit sandpaper and a little polishing with the dremel and i was good to go. Thanks for the tip.
