Part hooks... protocol?

[JordanG]

Whats the protocol for the wire hooks you use to hang parts?

Do you guys chuck em and make new ones when they accumulate a bit of powder, or is there a product you can soak them in to get them back down to steel? I've noticed after I use a hook 2-3 times I start losing the ground through it and throwing them away after each use doesnt seem economical.

Pointers?

I've got a 5 gal. bucket of D-zolve 1012. Hang the hooks around the rim of the bucket for awhile and pressure wash them off.

(I set the lid on and cover the bucket with a garbage bag to help limit evaporation).

i strip in b-17, but between the point where they loose ground and get a lot of accumulation, i keep a file handy and just knock the powder off at the contact points.

Wire wheel on my buffer/grinder setup. Just hit the corners of the V and you're sparking again.

I just take a die grinder with a sanding drum and knock the powder off of the contact points. Once the powder builds up real thick on the hook I put them in the B17 for a few minutes.
