Getting the copper off?

copper

Robert, They're right about the EPA. That chemical can no longer be used. I, like Chris, use a buffer/grinder with a fine grit scotchbrite wheel. You don't lose your detail and you get the last of the copper and nickel.

i glass bead it off with low pressure. it won't affect the surface one bit. i have two sets of springer rockers that i had the chrome stripped off then parkerized and will post pics if you want me too. there was a lot of copper on one side of each and not much on the other. still came out the same

Nope Chris. You have to have a way of getting it out of every nok and cranny. Yes you can do it in a glass beading cabinet if you don't plan on doing anything else with the rest of your life.

A polishing wheel will remove it.

And now for the young scientist of the year award (Drum roll please). All joking a side. This post could help me and a lot of other people. A lot of stuff I have has been recovered from the chopper dynasty. I had my platter strip off the chrome and nickel but there is a lot of copper left behind. They say that they used to have something that would take it off but the EPA won’t let them use it any longer. Frankly I think there full of ****! Just cheap. Any way I got to find a way of removing this stuff. When you go to parkerize anything that was originally chromed. Any remnants will show right up even if you can’t see it prior to putting it in the soup. I’m depending on ya boys. Bob L
