ll be building an ar-15 but before i start finishing the fire arm with duracote i want to use acetone will this acetone damage the anodized aluminum or phosphate finishes or melonite finishes? I really hope it doesn't

Aluminum should be OK. Google the others. I use rubbing alcohol be for painting most surfaces.

Sorry, Roger, I never tried the polish on aluminum.I only use it on copper. It does an excellent job on copper. Anetski

That's a question beyond my pay grade, so to speak. However, I will say I've cooked tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, etc. in my Anolon pans and there doesn't appear to be any problem with the coating and/or interior condition of the pan. I would think if there was a leaching issue, the finish would degrade after a while. You might want to contact Anolon directly with this question.

I'm not sure. It says it's hard anodize which I think is another compound. I would check with All- Clad for the answer

Clean it well and then store with a slight film of oil to prevent the rust. Should be just fine, this is common. bone appetit

I've used Herb's Yellowstone on woodcarving knives, chisels, and gouges. Always strop with the sharp edge trailing, otherwise the blade could cut into the strop and harm either the strop, the blade, or both.My technique is to scrape some of the compound onto the leather and rub the powder in with my finger tip. The black color the strop will acquire is from steel particles being polished off. Leave them on the strop as you use it more and more.I haven't anything better ....

Everything I've ever used it on has been unaffected by it, but they're all relatively modern firearms. It's really just hi-tech soap, and while they tell you themselves it might harm some less-expensive "cold bluing" finishes, I can't imagine it would harm a really good old-fashioned finish. Still, I agree that testing on some inconspicuous spot would be wise. I use the stuff on all my guns and have been very happy with it for years.

Aluminim's PROBABLY 'anodized' on the inside--which is a special metal heat+/electro-treatment process used on high-performance aluminum-wares for the past couple decades now. = More durable than coatings because it's still the same, singular material only with the surface having been specially hardened/sealed, and unlike Teflon, it's relatively non-toxic.

Please disregard my earlier response. As far as I can tell Nev 'R Dull uses chemicals, not abrasives. I use it on cymbals and chrome all of the time and I've yet to see any scratching like you can see with even 0000 steel wool. . In the Navy they use it for all "bright work" brass and the like. It's great stuff but use it in a well ventilated area.

The following link should answer the question. Some of these compounds are better thatn others. This just backs-up those statements. http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off.Keep them all in the X ring.Semper FiMolon LabeCHS USMCL

See previously posted review : http://www.amazon.com/review/RA1LGZCAACB2T/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0067MQM48&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= Teflon won't be the only concern you'll have. See my review about aluminum :

The two guns I used it on had flat black finishes also. The rifle had light marks from what I'd call normal use. The pistol had a couple very bad scratches on the slide. I use my guns, their not closet queens. I pleased with the results.

No, this isn't a teflon coating. Anodizing is a chemical process applied to metals (in this case I believe aluminum) to get the nonstick surface (and non-corrosive). In my experience, no particulates come off, but I generally avoid using metal utensils just as a general rule. You can wiki anodizing to get a better idea about the chemical process.

Sorry.... used it on brass with a satin finish so can't answer your question.

Oh indeed. I've slathered my parkerized 870P with CLP for years and have had zero issues. Use it in good health. And it smells like victory.

I used Ansoil ATF in synthetic. I am sure you can use any synthetic ATF just fine.
