Works exactly as advertised.
We have a batch of hundreds of brass parts with an internal female thread that were electroless nickel plated. No masking on the threads, so they got plated and the threading tolerances got thrown off. Hand tapping them required a specialty tap, was incredibly difficult, and dulled the taps like crazy. We filled the holes with this stuff and let it sit for a few hours. Remove stripper, clean with water, done. It ate the nickel and didn't mess with the brass threads. Absolutely perfect. Saved SOOOO much work, time, and money.

Did not work for me!
Left a electroless nickel Colt frame in the solution for 6 hours. It didn't so much as etch the nickel. Ended up sand blasting it off. Returned for refund. Brownell refunded with no problem. I think with over 20 years business with Brownells this is the first return and they came thru A-1.
