This is a prepared mix of strong acids in a stiff paste which enables it to be applied to small areas and to vertical or even overhanging surfaces. It is especially useful for pickling to remove heat tint following welding. Again precautions for handling acids must be followed and the residue flushed thoroughly to a suitable waste stream after completion. Most commercial pickling paste is formulated for the austenitic grades, so if these are used to clean lower alloyed grades such as 3CR12 the process must be closely monitored to ensure the paste is quickly removed and very thoroughly rinsed off afterwards.

smicky Go Pies!!! Donating Members 2,852 Member For: 16y 11m 15d Gender: Male Location: Vic Somewhere - Sometimes NSW Posted 28/04/08 10:49 AM Share Posted 28/04/08 10:49 AM Mate - if you replace them and have an alarm installed, hook a little sensor to the underside of the plates - same as that on the bonnet of your car... You will prob find a little metal piston/push like sensor under your bonnet... You might be able to run a wire from that to the underside of the number plate somehow... As soon as it is partly lifted or brakes the circuit the alarm should go off!!!Then run out the front with a baseball bat... that's what I find works best when people SH17 me!!! (just joking)... :uziman: :biggun: :punchhead: Its a shame your not in Sydney - being half middle eastern (descendant) I'd be right there helping you out with the BAS7@RD5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
