SuperMex Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just picked up a Noss head for cheap but don't like the color using EZ OFF to get it off is there a easier way this shit is thicker and tougher than any Anodize I have ever come across?

Zwiser Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 get it media or bead blasted, then just get it powder coated or polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Use air craft stripper. It works Very fast. BUT!!! Do NOT touch it and DO NOT breath it in. Well unless you want a hospital trip with burns to your hands and lungs. Walmart it up. Watch some vids of it in action on you-tuber.

SuperMex Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Congratulations to NOSS Heads you officially have the baddest anodize I have ever come across in my life you cant even be stripped off completely with aircraft stripper. Dremel and a soft wire wheel are the only thing that takes it down to bare aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cal Suspension Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Abrasion is really the only EFFECTIVE way to get rid of anodizing. Sanding, blasting, or wire-wheeling. Strippers are 100% ineffective on anodizing. I wish I would have seen this thread sooner, I could have told you that that aircraft stripper won't do anything. I've tried PRETTY much everything out there to strip anodizing, as I do it almost every day. Blasting is the fastest and easiest way to get rid of it.

It took some off just not all of it there is still a thin layer that is not affected by any chemical so I just used my good ole trusty dremel.

Well unless you want a hospital trip with burns to your hands and lungs. Walmart it up. Watch some vids of it in action on you-tuber. i have a good lesson for everyone. my buddy got some of this stuff from a local guy that is a heli-mechanic and about half filled a plastic water bottle. well my buddy used it to clean something in the shed, left the bottle on the counter and went to the store for some smokes. came back and the bottle was gone. got a call about an hour later from his mother stating that he needs to get to the hospital cause his father is in the emergency department. turns out his father grabbed the bottle in the shed thinking it was water and took off in his truck for a business call, was driving down the road and took a big mouthful of the stuff. he was okay after a few hours but imagine the things that could have happened. so never leave chemicals in unmarked bottles.

bcub Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 HI FELLAS, I USE DRAINO. MIX IT UP AND LEAVE THE ITEM TILL IT STARTS TO FADE , USUALLY 7 TO 10 MINS. WEAR GLOVES AND USE A BRUSH THAT DOESNT SCRATCH BUT WONT DISSOLVE IN THE DRAINO. KEEP A BUCKET OF WATER HANDY AND THE TAP RUNNING. IT GETS OFF EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN.. HOPE THIS HELPS. OH YEAH IVE TRIED EVERYTHING. THIS WORKS ON ANODISING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
