Lay off the sprouts and you'll be fine , it wouldn't hurt to open a window though. 8 minutes ago, ditchman said: the way things are going it could well be............greta thumbbat will decree it shud be electric.......... To a man with your engineering skills , electric wouldn't be a problem , I reckon you could even manage solar or hydro . You could be leading the green charge from the front 👍.

Gordon R Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Quote Mr muscle oven cleaner.............in the over leave it for 20 mins....on casings like that only 10 mins.. Simon - I was just about to buy some Mr Muscle oven cleaner to clean up my aluminium bike frame, prior to acid etch primer. The blurb with Mr Muscle says it should not be used on aluminium. Is it okay, providing I don't leave it on too long - i.e. clean it off after 10 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Not bothered about the look of the aluminium - self etch primer, then enamel paint going over the frame. I was just bothered about it eating the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
