B9 Nickel Stripper
Excellent stripper! Goes a long way. I used in a ceramic crock pot. Somewhere on website or maybe in the instructions, it says not to do that, however, it worked for me several times. It removed the nickel from golf iron heads in a couple of hours. Great instructions for all Caswell products. Highly recommend this and other Caswell products. Only brand I use when it comes to chrome or nickel stripping. I also highly recommend their black oxide kit.

Works great!
This stuff works exactly as described. I stripped some nickel off of an old gun action and it took every spec off in just a couple hours. Another review mentioned a smell, but it wasn't this stuff, it is almost odorless. I soaked my parts in a stainless ultrasonic tank because it has a heater. When the parts were done I turned on the ultrasonic and it removed the most of the smut. I then rinsed it off with hot water. I put off this project a long time because I didn't want to mess with acids and electricity, I wish I found this sooner!

It works with patience
I used the B9 to strip a nickel plated golf club. It took much longer to strip the nickel than the guide suggested, about a week cooking 4 hours the first day and an hour each day following. The solution smells bad so I don't recommend doing it indoors. It gets clumpy and kind of messy near the end. Almost all the plating was removed, the remaining bits I sanded away. The sanding will also remove most of the soot. Overall an effective product. Will return to Caswells for more DIY projects.
