Darren:
I just realised something..... :doh:

I used Soda Crystals aka washing soda not Caustic Soda......

This is much less aggressive and safer to your skin etc, the mixture can even be thrown on the garden when you are done as some plants will benefit from the iron content.

A caustic soda mix would really need to be disposed of carefully.

Now that I have seen that the mild solution strips paint off I'll probably not try the caustic soda as I really see no need.

Darren:
Bernd, no need for the blasting, it really is stripped back down to the base metal. The pic's are not showing this too well.... :thumbup:
