I am trying to finish my notes to accompany the rebuild video (notes will be free) and I am wanting to pick your collective brains for info on corrosion prevention for the mag alloy case. What do you do? The factory coating only lasted a few years and is long gone now. On most peoples cases, it is the oil that keeps it from corroding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

When working with new parts, you apply coatings, not remove them.
That being said, paint stripper would be a good guess. Not sure what is in each brand, bit I would stay away from acids and bases (lye). Test on a small area to see if it damages the anodize. Wood scrapers with angled tips are easy to make, softer than the aluminum, and do a fair job scraping softened crud. Dry ice blasting can definitely strip them because it is used to strip airplanes one paint layer at a time. Not sure if soda blasting is OK. |
