Default Re: chrome stripping?

A word of caution about muriatic acid. I used muriatic acid when I was working on motorcycle or small engines that suffered a piston failure, where aluminum was fused from the piston onto the steel cylinder liner. The acid would dissolve the aluminum with no affect on the steel liner. So be cautious using muriatic acid to strip any casting that is aluminum. It might work, as I have never tried it, but you may end up with a damaged part.
