[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 936092, member: 7629"] first saw use of simple green, toothbrush and lots of water ... watching an AGI video. have never caught AGI wrong on any major point. [url]http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=191136[/url] used to work at a plating shop just out of high school... so pretty familiar with what different chemicals do to different types of metals. we used to strip paint off steel in a heated vat filled with a caustic solution. strength was very similar to lye. simple green is base or caustic ... base is opposite of acid, will not hurt steel, but will attack aluminum (certain types of acid will also attack aluminum). key is heat.. which makes caustic solutions much more active. in other words... if simple green is heated up... it acquires different properties. used cold ... I've not had any problems with using simple green on firearms. have only used simple green on my 337PD, 340PD, gold cup 1911 (stainless) and Ruger MK II (stainless) [/QUOTE]
