ShreveportGolf Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Muratic acid or what is more commonly known as hydrochloric acid. Very potent stuff. Home depot carries it. It is used for etching concrete and for use in swimming pool cleaning applications. Do not breath or let it come into contact with your skin. Use in an open area. You can drop the head in for a few minutes in a plastic container. If you have it on a shaft be careful, because it will eat the chrome off the shaft as well. Good luck and be careful!

joey3108 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 What is the best way to go about removing chrome from a club head? Thanks.The best way? Till all the corner of the stamping and groves?I would have to say "reverse electro chrome cyanide acid bath". It will only attack the old chrome and hardly make the metal pitted. It'll only take 30 - 45 minutes, instead of days. Most plating company have this bath tank and it shouldn't be to expensive at all. Good luck!

red king Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I tried to sandblast a chrome Cleveland wedge and it was a disaster! It took away the grooves! Depending on the club, the grooves are stamped into the final, chromed head, so if you lose the chrome, you lose the grooves! Take my advice, don't do anything to your club and buy an RTG.
