I figured I'd just give HG a try on an old campy crank with a crack in it because it was the only instant gratification solution I had at hand... soaked it for 10-15 minutes, but didn't expect it to turn black (freaked me out at first). But no worries, it rinsed off with some lukewarm water & soap. After that I was able to clearly see where the anodized layer had been removed, which made subsequent sanding/polishing a cinch.

Leave it any longer and the black turns into a hard carbon like substance and then its a swine to get off!DaveB1":1ygs9fp4 said:
You need to keep an eye the stuff, an old stiff toothbrush will help get into any names/lines etc.
