Buzurk1 Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 nice choice We use that acid at work under strict conditions to strip weld heat marks of stainless steel if you forget about the stainless and leave it for a few days its like holy shit i got to make another one again. Depending on strength that acid eats thru gold and can get in your bown marrow and start lukemia (no shit) take the pipes to a chrome works and im sure they can sought it Quote
NE-Shee Posted April 16, 2004 Report Posted April 16, 2004 Dude you dont want to mess with this stuff!!!!!! I work for a chemical company and this stuff is very very regulated and is not sold to just anyone!!!! Yes it will go threw your skin and to your bones and that is not shit. A couple of the old men are missing finger tips from this stuff..... If you use it ....... Quote

sredish Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 But pure form will burn your hand off. Ooooh shit!! How do I make sure not to find this stuff. NYUKs right, go to a chroming shop and let them remove the chrome for you. Quote

Lowes has HCl?????? Where??? I use it from time to time in an acid etching pen for marking materials. You can't just look at 1045 and know its 1045. Quote

Lowes has HCl?????? Where??? I use it from time to time in an acid etching pen for marking materials. You can't just look at 1045 and know its 1045. well i actually went there for some meriatic acid, seeings how i couldnt find any HCI anywhere. walk over to the paint section ask the dude if he has any meriatic acid, yeah its right around the corner. walk over walk right into the poision sign. and there it was they had cases of it i was gonna get some but im just gonna look to see if i cant find a chroming place first to take this fuckin chrome off. whats 1040 and know its 1040? does 1040 have anything to do with HCI?

Cotton eyed Joe Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 (edited) Oh 1045 is a steel. Its different than 1018. Some of my jobs require 1045 not 1018. The parts would fail or not pass inspection if they aren't the right material. Acid etching is easier than a paint marker or paper tags. I didn't know Lowes had muratic acid either.....damn...I need to walk around that place more. Edited April 18, 2004 by Cotton eyed Joe Quote
BrokeStonedBiker Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Posted April 18, 2004 yeah go in the paint section and ask them. i walked in the lawn and garden section and asked someone and they looked at me like i was crazy and asked what i want it for, and then said i dont think we do but you can check with the paint department. fartknockers.

bansha60 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 try some muratic (spelling?) acid, that shit is pretty good, eats rust in a heartbeat, might work on crome? Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 I doubt it is pure HCl. That shit is REALLY strong. Quote
