finish removal.
What liquids would work best for scrub-free (or reduced scrubbing) to loosen up the varied gun finishes?
I've had some parts where a quick soak in TSP would remove all the finish perfectly. I've had other parts where even a soak in acetone or cream paint stripper didn't soften the finish. Sometimes I've used toilet bowl cleaner with good effect.
What do you guys think would work best for the widest varieties of metal?
Before I get flamed, I'm only wanting to loosen, lift, or dissolve finishes. Some things I've tried have produced pitting (I've experimented only on my own guns), but I watch the process closely and buff the components to a silky finish with no ill effects. Most often I polish a bolt to produce a nice contrast with the dark receiver.
At the moment I'm trying to customize the finish of my KJW 229 to be like the real P14-45 I had years ago: Blued slide, stainless frame, cocobolo wood grips.
Removing that black finish tho...
So, what non-scrubbing solutions would you suggest work on the widest range of finishes and metals?
Common sense is so rare it should be a super power.
