| Re: Laquer Removel
Many horns do not have laquer, they have EPOXY and that does not come off quite as easy.
I would be careful with boiling water. It can remove certain types of laquer, but you still need to get the horn chemically stripped before plating. It has to be PRISTINE otherwise the plating doesn't last. That means you are not really saving the tech any work and therefore not saving any money.
If green hands are your goal, boiling water is probably sufficient, although the "melted" laquer could end up somewhere dangerous like in the leadpipe or so. If it breaks loose from there during performance, the valves could hang.......... (been there, seen it, can advise against it) |
