It's hard telling but is there much left? Are the what appears to be gouges from using the screw driver to knock out the carbon?

There is not much left in the blast chamber. And what is left is likely not carbon, but either lead or copper build up. Cant tell what is left in the forward baffles, which is the area Im hoping will get cleaner by the time im off work.
Yea the scratches are from the screw driver. Non issue and wont effect anything.
So I take it we can check CLR off as pretty damn good eh?
Purple power took a bunch off in the beginning as well.
The CLR is likely stronger however, smells very acidic.
I told you CLR works. We have played with everything here in our R&D lab.
Oh one other things guys if you use CLR. Melonite parts will turn a bronze color so if you do not want that to happen don't use it.
Sure did work great. Thanks for the suggestion
Wonder if the AAC latch is melonite. It turned a bronzey type color while in there the first few cycles. I was thinking it was rust for a moment. Then it went away after a few more cycles. It came out being the only part with a finish left as you can tell from the pics. Bronze color is gone now.
Its still laying in the tank so it should be interesting to see what happens when I take it out later. Will have been in the solution for over 24 hours plus a few hours of run time with the UC. Stupid thing only does 8 minute cycles
It is melonite. Good to know the color came back. Make sure to rinse that sucker out really well as well. Having CLR blow back in the face wouldn't be good.
So what's the long term effect on corrosion resistance? Those after pics look like all the finish has been removed. You can rattle can the exterior, but what about the inner core??
