Overview
This liquid stripper is designed to remove both electrolytic and electroless nickel plating from steel, copper, and copper alloys without the need for heating or agitation. It is a practical choice for shop work where a controlled, straightforward stripping process is preferred, with typical removal times ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours. The formula is intended to be mixed and reused, and the kit includes instructions for setup and use. Because it gives off a strong ammonia odor, it should be used with adequate ventilation.
