Sounds good. This is what I've found so far and what was offered here too.
- Oven cleaner Easy Off heavy duty apparently is a thing that does work on vacuum metalized chrome plastic parts. I was surprised to see this working on anodized AL also. Couple videos for your entertainment... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ro1yiA8CW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNAB45zQUtk
Thank you Halliwax
- I'm chatting with some folks at Ecolink to see if they would recommend there product on pot metal. Stripol NI Ultra Seems to be a relatively safe stripper. http://www.ecolink.com/info/nickel-stripping-stripol-ultra/
- MetalX B-929 is another stripper I found. non-caustic http://www.finishing.com/chemicals/stripper.shtml

This video is removing plating on steel gun parts... I know it's not pot metal, but kind of gives you an idea on the process. This one does require heat at 120 degrees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI0tAec5kFA
- Then in the event of needing to repair pot metal I found this... http://www.muggyweld.com/ Super Alloy 1 This makes me a bit nervous attempting to do this because of the high heat required. Demonstration video of some repairs being done on pot metal... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dINNNtVk0cU
Once I hear back from the MetalX and Stripol NI Ultra folks on what they advise I'll get started ordering some supplies. I don't have any Oven Cleaner at the moment, but worth a small test.
By the way what do you guys recommend putting on parts once they've been stripped? I'm guessing water wouldn't have much effect on zinc alloy's once the parts have been cleaned, wiped down and dried off.
