Looking for Advice on Stripping Plated Screws and Then Bluing
Hello,
I have a screw that needs replacing for a project gun and surprisingly, it seems to be a relatively common thread. I have the choice of stainless steel and zinc plated. Naturally, the stainless would look out of place. I was thinking I should be able to strip the zinc plating off with muriatic acid and have a good bare surface to blue. Was wondering it anyone has done it before and could tell me if it would still be suitable for bluing afterward or if I would still have issues.
Thanks.
