Re: [ARSCLIST] Delamination on Aluminum base laquer disc

[Robert Hodge <rjhodge@xxxxxxx>]

It is going against my grain to follow up on this, but dropping the disc
in 
lacquer thinner - not turp or paint thinner- will strip it down
completly.

Alcohol will do it as well. 

USE OUT OF DOORS - FUMES ARE PARTICULARLY NASTY AND FLAMMIBLE !!

Now for something completely different.... here's a real twist:-

Has anyone established a workable method to cause lacquer to delaminate
from 
the aluminum base?  This would be done using a scrap lacquer disc and
only for 
the purpose of recovering the aluminum base cleanly and intact.

Methods like pouring boiling water on the lacquer don't work
consistently... it 
seems that the lacquer either sticks like glue or is easily prompted to

separate, but it isn't consistent across the surface or two sides of
the the 
same disc!

Possibly heat carefully applied with a heat gun?

Does anyone have any other ideas?
