I've taken my aileron apart and notice corrosion on the thin aluminum
parts, so I'm reading around about cleaning prior to alodining. I've
taken a stainless steel brush to the surface and removed most of the
corrosion, but it's really a PITA.

Someone suggested using lye as a cleaner. Anyone have any experience
using supermarket lye in that role? - Mike


I assume that this person is not a friend...

I've used Drano to remove the remains of an aluminium piston from inside an
iron cylinder (it was already bored to the max). It worked great... bye-bye
aluminium.
