Lye as an aluminum cleaner? Michael Horowitz 10-14-2006
I have taken my aileron apart and notice corrosion on the thin aluminum
parts, so I am reading around about cleaning prior to alodining. I have
taken a stainless steel brush to the surface and removed most of the
corrosion, but it's really a PITA.

Someone suggested using lye as a cleaner. Anyone have any experience
using supermarket lye in that role? - Mike
