I stripped nickle one time from some parts. The stripper wouldn't remove the copper wash that was plated on first. On good advice from the forum I just glass beaded the parts to get them where I needed them.

I was disappointed at first for spending the money for the stripper but was able to save it and use it for some other parts that were chromed. What I did find out later on after boiling some them off for a new finish was that they had to go in to the blast cabinet anyway because of discoloration after application of the finish.

Next time I can just use the cabinet for dressing small parts or even larger ones for that matter without worrying about destroying them completely or ruining small marks. In some instances the markings became even more clear now that I think about it.
A popular suppliers product was used to remove the finish on this Kragicon receiver. it worked exactly as advertised less the copper wash.
