Didnt work for me.

The spec sheet clearly says that this product works on 95% of nickel plating. I must of had a 1911 that fell under the other 5%. I tried everything including keeping the solution at 100 for well over 16 hours and soaked for a total of 48hrs. I hung the parts & mixed the solution properly. I believe that this would work, I just think I had the nickel that wouldnt strip. Brownells wouldnt sell it if it didnt work but I wanted to share my experiences.

Limited use.

The item I was trying to stripe was a 1885 Winchester receiver (dated mid 1920's). Follow the directions by using paint measure cups and allow the items to soak for 3 days. A very small area had stripe but overall had very little affect. I mixed a new batch and tried again and still no results.

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.
