cabinet painting

[FRED HOLNAGEL]

Re: Painting aluminum and galvanized steel. In the sheet metal shops when we 
out of the "proper" pre-treatment we used vinegar on galvanized sheets. If 
anyone has been to Mexico there is a bar soap named Don Maximo. It is big on 
phosphates and will about disolve aluminum if left too long in a water 
soloution. If the part is small, immerse it for a few minutes and 
immediately flood with water. I submerge old variable caps for a few minutes 
and then wash the black film off in warm water. They come out like new 
anodized parts. The word is don't wait too long to do the wash off
or your part may be missing! W7PRV
