Default Re: Need help stripping nickel from carbon steel

Hello. I left them in the solution for about 40 minutes per head. I would remove them every 20 minutes to remove the smut before putting them back in. Will the smut dissolve on its own if I leave it in there long enough. I am just not sure what type of nickel this is. If the solution is more concentrated, will it strip quicker as well? I may try to leave the heads in there for a few hours if possible. I am assuming that the bath if kept between 120-150*F will last a few hours? Sorry about all the questions. I am on an island with very little resources available to me as well as the fact that the time difference is between 12-15 hours ahead of the states. Thanks again.

Jason
