Thank you for sharing information and knowledge about trying to clean shaft, most of the shafts I clean and mic were at the border line when it was new it’s a gamble to reuse it 😊
Battery acid is solphoric acid, H2SO4, muriatic acid is the home name of chlorodric acid, and it's HCL. battery acid is usually 1245g/l in concentration so it's weak as hell
I'll give this a try if I'm ever in that situation. For aluminum(like pistons) I've had decent luck cutting metal transfer and light scuffing from an overheat by using sharpening stones and some oil. Rub until it's smooth and you can see the original machining marks around the piston. I did a quick little vid on it a few years back. ua-cam.com/video/_S1B4l8OqNA/v-deo.html
Good trick! By listening to you, I noticed that you were not wearing a proper mask, eye protection and correct gloves! Not to say, proper clothing to mess with this acid! Please be extra careful, next time!
Nice clear video, thanks.

Thanks for sharing
"shafts I clean and mic"

Thanks for watching and commenting everyone! ~Jeff
Where I can buy that acid?
My local hardware store had it.
Best to do it outside in the open or have a fan blowing it away from you plus goggles and face shield and respirator 😊
good advice!!!
Well at least you are chemical gloves while you're messing with that acid

I always tune into watching muriatic acid. Man that stuff is hazardous. Cover your eyes.
Ware goggle and face shield is what I do
Can’t take any chances with it

Quite the opposite of an acid, Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda) or Potassium Hydroxide (caustic potash) is what you want.

Yes, good advice
Yes, Aluminum is toxic as hell!
Mixing chemicals, no pants or proper footwear, No respirator.Receipt for disaster.
