The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Welcome and thanks for the tip. But if you get any more pins for £2 ....please keep it to yourself, we're all jealous

Oooooh nice I must try that on my manky Mordex . Welcome to the TFF

The Detol was more expensive than the Speedia

Welcome Lee. You didn't use to be in The Village People did you?

Very good I will have to try that one , nice work

I'd always understood..though never dared to try the idea out..that caustic soda dissolved aluminium severely...?

Welcome to the forum Lee.


I guess it depends on the concentration:

This heat sink, probably from a zenner diode is thicker metal than a Speedia:

Oh, and it's inflammable.....

DAAAAAMN ! That was fearsome....I think there's hardly any caustic soda in Dettol, just enough to kill paint and irritate skin, the aluminium looks shiny and healthy

I think I'd want to keep a bottle of vinegar handy while doing this.

Really nice, indeed. Very nice. Welcome aboard. Waiting for more to come, Lee.

News of your awesomeness has indeed travelled all the way to Sydney Australia. Well done mate!
