Ok, I got my Caswell anodizing kit and I've been reading through the plating manual, but I'm still confused about something. There is a section that describes how to remove chrome plating from ferrous metals (using electrolysis along with the "anodize & chrome stripper") and non-ferrous metals (Brass, Bronze, Copper, or Nickel, using hydrochloric acid) but no mention of how to strip chrome from aluminum. I've tried using muriatic acid (I think the manual says that is the same as hydrochloric acid?) and that eats the aluminum. Any words of advice here?
Also, the instructions on the "anodize & chrome stripper" says to "Connect wand to negative side. Immerse wand with bandage into solution and stroke part until a brown residue forms on bandage". What on earth are the "wand" and "bandage" described here? I didn't receive any such item in my anodizing kit...
Thanks, Steve
