It didn't do any visible damage to the paint, Major. I was concerned about that, too. I think the solution runs away and evapourates too quickly to do any serious harm. It says on the bottle that you can use it as paint stripper, which had me worried, but it didn't do the enamel on my Galaxy frame any harm

I have 99% of a bottle of caustic soda left. Would you like some? (It comes as granules that you mix up with water).

Thanks very much, that's a very kind offer. I think though that I can get it in Homebase - I certainly saw something marked caustic soda there. That would be probably be just as cheap as posting it. If it turns out to be the wrong stuff I might take you up on your offer. In any case I'm going to be away for 3 weeks so it'll be some time before my next attack.

Cheers,
