Welcome

I agree. I left a link to this site hopefully more curious people will come and get decent information

As BLD said Vinegar takes forever at elevated temperatures.

Below are a couple of Youtube videos where you can see the effect on different grades.

Hydrochloric Acid
Sulphuric Acid

Yep, Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) could do the job a little faster than vinegar, as it will dissolve the iron off the ceramics, is easier to get hold of and way safer than H2SO4.

Wiki Same acid as in our stomachs and used in pickling steel.

Safety glasses and rubber/latex gloves to be safe.

Just thought about it … Coca-cola has phosphoric acid in it and that could also work as the metal in the ceramics is very fine.

Yep H2SO4 in it’s concentrated form can be bad, cos when you add it to water it can get very hot and or “splash/jump” out. H2SO4 can be found in car batteries and if you have ever got that on your clothes you can kiss those good bye. Always add acid to water while stirring the water. This helps to prevents the hydrophilic “jumping out” of H2SO4. I agree 100% not for the hobby/garage level.

Try vinegar 1st as that is prob the safest.

Well I have not tried but I would think normal swimming pool acid should work to help clean the ceramic stones. The pool acid is Hydrochloric acid (HCl). You do get them in different strengths and of course with any chemicals wear gloves. Do NOT get the HydroFLOURIC acid (HF), as that is VERY VERY dangerous.

Also I think the ones that they sell to clean the steam cleaners could also work. Even vinegar might do the trick. Vinegar is also acidic.

Welcome to the forum

+1. Should be quicker and “cheaper” to make a continuous channel.

[Kennith Chan]

I am sure happy for you and that you got the vindication for all the hard work and effort you put in. Also as a community to see the product evolve from it’s original form is heartening. That speaks volumes for the dedication and enthusiasm you still have for your product.

Compared to other similarly priced products on the market that have not changed in any major way since they were 1st launched.

Hey Clay

Congrats on the WIN at the show. Glad to see the suggestions we made for the joints were able to be implemented.

[Kennith Chan]

I know this is a vastly inferior product but I thought the nylon bushing or the way it is held maybe you can use a similar method to hold the end rod bearing. Check out 2 min 30 secs. for how the bushing is held

Thanks

Been awhile since I been on went to the accessories to see if there was one listed.

Hi people

What I do to compensate for the slow speed is I open the index from the main forum. I then see which of the topics have new posts. I then right click on the green (x new post) and open in a new tab. I then go to that new tab and do the same for the topics. That way while I am busy reading the 1st topic all the others are loading in the background in other tabs. Yes when you have a backlog and there is more than one page you need to catch up on it is back to the slow speed.
