thminiman Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 i just got another mini for parts, theres a few things on it i want on the nice mini, but there not in the best of condition. The things im thinking about are the rims and the head. ive thaught about this a bit but im wondering if anyone here knows more about acid dipping, if im dipping the head then it can exactly take any metal off only the carbon and shit. any info on acid dipping in general would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
