Be careful Steve, I went to that movie. It did a lot more blowing than blowing up.

Looks great Jason!

That's pretty good results from a backyard chemistry set. I've been getting like results from my basement lab using nothing more exotic ( read cheap ) than lye and vinegar. Only using them on cast iron or steel though, and not mixing the two chemicals together.

What does that Purple stuff do to aluminum?

[SuperNovaSS]

Not sure what is does to aluminum. I know lye with take out aluminum. I have used it to get aluminum out of heat cross overs in steel heads before. I will have to put a piece of scrap aluminum in there to find out.

Just tried Purple Power out on an Aluminum Thermostat Housing for a sb/bb Chevy.

I won't do that again. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

I only had it in for about an hour. Full strength Purple Power took off some more of the left over paint and goo, but the bowl was foaming and the aluminum was changing color. The housing came out pretty dark. Luckily I didn't leave it in overnight like I had originally planned. I had a speedo reducer housing (zink?) and gears that I had left in for two days and the P.P. loosened all the old grease and crud. Worked fine on that. Gonna try some plastic parts next. I think I'm gonna like it though. Just don't put any vauluable parts in there with out trying it on a junk part first.

I'm on some heavy duty muscle relaxers...and my spelling lately has been interesting to say the least...

I can't believe that I spelled that all correctly...LOL [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
