Sorry to bump this thread but I have had the offer of some old and manky supers and manley frames at a bargain price, I suspect the frames would be best used on the fire but was wondering about boiling the supers in washing soda or 'not' boiling them in caustic, (I have plenty of open space to do it in and the necessary equipment).
What strength solution would you use for each method?
I would blowlamp the supers and burn the frames.
