Set Up:
Place chemical strip into cold melting pot. The melting pot should have an adjustable temperature control from 500° to 900° F (260° to 482° C). The chemical strip should melt at or about 500° F (260° C). When bubbling has ceased, and any cloudiness disappears, it means that entrapped air and/or moisture has been driven out. Now increase temperature to desired setting. For most materials there will be little or no advantage in exceeding 730° F (388° C). Chemical strip will be subject to deterioration, with breakdown occurring at about 900° F (482° C).
Operation:
1. Immerse the item to be stripped into the melted chemical strip to the level of desired strip. As the chemical strip reacts with the insulation, a bubbling action will occur. Complete removal of the insulation is indicated when the bubbling ceases. At this time remove the item from the chemical strip.
2. Remove with water any chemical strip that has been carried out on the stripped item. In the case of copper, (where a slight amount of oxidation may occur) it is recommended that chemical strip metal cleaner be used after water rinse. If it appears that the item was prematurely removed from the chemical strip, be sure it is dry before returning it to the pot. This will avoid dangerous boiling and spattering.
