Sounds like a little goes a long way. I've never used lye / caustic soda / Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) before but it sounds, uh, caustic.3 caps - (the lid from the caustic soda)
Yup wear ALL the safety stuff you want caus this stuff is pretty toxic.Sounds like a little goes a long way. I've never used lye / caustic soda / Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) before but it sounds, uh, caustic.
Powerfully caustic.
So I assume it'd be wise to wear rubber gloves while measuring, etc.?
Any other tips you recommend?
I'm seriously considering doing this to some bike parts.
Thanks!

Nope I dont plan on doing anything to the raw aluminium. My frame on my enduro FS is also raw aluminium and if it looses some shine or getting scuffed I just take a kitchen sponge and buff the frame up again. We are talking pretty thick metal here so I have no worries.That’s pretty sweet.
the 12 speed stuff, without the painted spider would probably come out pretty nice as well!
Any plan to clear coat them, to protect the aluminum from corrosion?
I've done that in the past with parts that aren't the correct color or rubbing off like in your case. You will need to seal it somehow or it will pit and look bad in a couple of months. That or clean and polish every week...
Ooh, wonder how hard it'd be to make a rasta themed crankset? (only sort of kiding)He could anodize it... 😉
Yeah I need to mention that i'm not after a perfect shiny look - I just wanted it raw.I've done that in the past with parts that aren't the correct color or rubbing off like in your case.
