[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 958665, member: 3099"] All depends on how strong it is. Sodium Hydroxide's street name is caustic soda. It can get pretty stout. It's a base and it's the main ingredient in that purple degrease stuff like Castrol Super Clean. I don't think it has an effect on brass like ammonia which is bad news to brass. I'd try a small amount of brass to make sure it doesn't come out black or something. That liquid brass cleaner stuff like Birchwood Casey is phosphoric acid based IIRC and will turn your brass pink. But it does clean it fairly well. Just don't leave it in too long or your wife/GF will nab it from you. [/QUOTE]
