What's on your bench today?

Hydrochloric acid is indeed a solution of Hydrogen Chloride in water. In a similar way Sodium Chloride is what you put on your chips yet Sodium is not something to mess with. I repeat my earlier comment, in that HCL DOES NOT give off Chlorine gas.

 

OK, so I made an error and thought that dissolving chlorine in water produces Hydrochloric acid so any gas escaping from concentrated HCL will be Chlorine and not HCL gas!

 

My mistake, it has been many years since I studied chemistry, I think the important part is that the acid etches away the aluminium transfer producing Hydrogen and Aluminium Chloride.

AL + HCl = ALCl + H2

 

It works, we know the chemistry about the reaction, we know the dangers of using acid, .......we can all use Google:001_rolleyes: and you forget a bit in 35 years:thumbdown:.....fantastic, nice one, fab...and where did this get us????

Sorry Spud, it was a bit late and I was being pedantic! You are right, it's the process that's useful to us.

 

Just didn't like the vision of sheds and workshops across the land emitting small clouds of WMD!

Getting smoking concentrated acid is going to be difficult and not necessary as a 15% acid strength works just fine.

 

Safety specs and gloves are still required for safety sake though!

Good to see you back again Wes, where ya been, not Madeira again?

 

Trouble with your vid is that some may believe that this is how it is done:001_rolleyes:

 

Funny though:lol:

Anybody have any tried and tested methods for holes in plastic that have had the thread stripped? I have a Titan 70 on the bench at the moment with a stripped airfilter housing hole.

 

Looking for something better than just shoving a bit of strimmer line down the hole!

Helicoils work just fine in plastic. Just have to use a machine screw rather than a course thread self tapper type screw.

Superb Wes . Engineering at its best ....
