    Default Guys, there's gotta be a better way to strip powdercoating!

    I've searched and have tried them all, and found zip strip to be among the best. My problem is I know there are better ways and I'm thinking that for the time I've spent stripping, it would be worth it.
    I have a machine shop down the street from me and he was talking about an acid dip or bath, I forget, but he did say that it might eat away some of the aluminum on rims. Was he correct? I woulda tried it on one of my rims, but I had already stripped them down.
    Is there another way?

    I have a 10 gallon stripper tub
    I dip the parts over night
    and it falls right off to bare metal

    it was expencive to make but totally worth it.

    the first one I used was plastic and it lasted about 1 hour
    it ate the plastic.
    maybe a stronger one might have work
    but I'm ussing a storage metal bowl I bought at wal mart.

    I will give it a try. I think and have an old style round deep wash tub from my local hardware store that will hold anything.
    I still wanna know what the professionals use?
