(8-9 step 9):
Tonight I just wanted to get the ribs prepped for
alodining. Some of the ribs don't appear to be alclad (dull
aluminum and no blue vinyl covering) and the part lable stickers were
stuck directly to the aluminum. Well, the sticker gum proved to
be slightly more difficult to remove than I expected. I learned
that denatured alcohol doesn't do a very good job of taking it off, but
acetone does very well! I don't know about MEK though (don't have
any) Anyway, I originally thought I'd be hanging the ribs into my
alodine buckets, so I cut, labeled, and rounded the ends of enough
romex wire to handle every rib. Once done I remembered I had some
plastic tubs that I bought just for pieces like these (doh!) I'll
eventually get a system down, and things will go quicker... maybe if I
keep telling myself that it'll actually happen!! So, the ribs are
ready to be dunked & alodined... next time.
