Hi folks,

Sorry for my delayed appearance – have had problems with my internet access the last couple of days.

I have attached 2 shots of the piece I originally posted about.

Many thanks,

I’d go either plastic then baking soda route, or the vapour blasting if there’s someone nearby who does it.

However, having said that & loooking at the size I’d first try the homemade soda blaster I linked to earlier…

The great thing about using baking soda is the local authorities really like people using it & hosing it down the drains as it neutalizes all the nasties that other people throw in the drains.
Shouldn’t cost more than a fiver to put together & the soda will (or should) take off the corrosion. If it was mine I’d probably glassbead blast it because I like the finish it leaves.
