Thanks for all the replies you guys. After 2 days I'm seeing some small amount of progress, so perhaps I'll leave it in there (since the bleach is already "used"). I'm using Clorox, the only kind I could find at Costco Business Center. Is there a better bleach? And how can you tell? And ye...

Currently I'm trying to strip the "chrome" off an old AMT 1:2500 Enterprise-D. The pieces have been sitting in bleach for a few hours now, and I'm not seeing much progress. The bleach is fresh, bought it just after Christmas. Is this a relatively quick process, or should I expect it to tak...

I'd like to get my hands on a couple different torus shapes for a couple of kits, but I have no idea how to get them. Is there a place that makes torus for sale? If not, can I make one, easily? I could make a 3D torus very easily, but it would be pricey to print it on Shapeways. I've searched on Sha...
