[QUOTE="BrownDogFlies, post: 387743, member: 17357"] Couple of questions ... Will a 50/50 water/vinegar solution work in place of muriatic acid? Having read the label I am suddenly less enthralled by the concept of muriatic, if I can get away with vinegar would be the preferred route. Purchased a 7.5-amp angle grinder at the local big box as well as a carbon cup brush attachment. The brush takes off the paint and the top layer of aluminum. Should I drop back to using an electric drill+brush for the detail work? Below are pictures after about 30 minutes of brushing. The paint looks blacker because the sprinkler was running. As you can see -- extensive pitting, lots of through holes. Also, thus far I have avoided removing the the brackets that hold the transom to the gunnels as I don't want to break the braziers. However, there is a layer of white corrosion that I cannot brush unless I remove the brackets. Is it better to go ahead and bite the bullet? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
