Did they have carbon on them before?I just took a closer look at that 670 cylinder and inside the transfers where I didn't scrub it down afterwards has turned dark and powdery but comes off with my finger. I'll have to get a brush in there before I use it.

I used eggzackly the the same thing with tap water. We have few minerals being miles from the water tower here. Perfect for vehicle coolant system water.I used these. I boiled the one I posted earlier for 3-4 hours. No dark gray.

That came out nice
I got a media blaster sitting on a buddies bench. He needs to finish his bike so it can come home this fall. Very hand tool for restoration of may things and paint removal.
I think so. Clear plastic jug, red lettering, yellow productDid they have carbon on them before?
Mine did not on the 034 jug. The 034S did.
It does add a matte finish and more shadow lines like looking at a dull rock finish.
The vinegar does nothing.

I'm thinking the plating and the steel stud touched of a chemical reaction with the heat and carbon present.

I don’t know, man. These were all done with the dark blue Walmart dishwasher pods in a steel galvanized bucket. About a gallon of water and four or five podsI used eggzackly the the same thing with tap water. We have few minerals being miles from the water tower here. Perfect for vehicle coolant system water.
You might be farked though. LOL. I think Wilt bought the entire New England supply a year agoDid they have carbon on them before?

I'm currently out of it.. It smells like no other cleaner. Used it on everything from nasty old plastic coolers to stained paint and it works nice. Cleans more aggressively than the simple green but no fumes.I think so. Clear plastic jug, red lettering, yellow product
The galvanised bucket might make a huge difference. It might be an anode with soft surface metals. I'll try that on a super nasty corroded 660 jug here. The bore is mint. The outside is all white death but no scale.I don’t know, man. These were all done with the dark blue Walmart dishwasher pods in a steel galvanized bucket.

That is one nasty mfer there
I just used dishwasher pods, on that cylinder I cooked it with two pods for 20 minutes then dumped the water and then cooked it 25 minutes with two pods and fresh water. It had a grayish color but after washing with Dawn and a scotchbrite it was gone.Ronie,
What did you use to clean that last nasty cylinder with? Was it straight cleaner or diluted? Curious what guys are doing straight cleaners or diluted?
Curious, mainly...
I've seen where plain muratic acid mixed with water works super good but, it's only used minutes in 15 min increments, for desired effects, NOT overnight....
WARNING proceed with caution!!! It's acid and not mixed correctly will result in nasty burns etc...

Why, you're on a roll, look at all those picturesI'm done.
Got heartburn and I'm in a bad *frenching mood.

I used Cascade platinum pods, and it gives the dark oxide look like how some FT cylinders come.
