I’m going to build an AR in clear gloss. No manufacturer will let me special order non anodized parts (aka “in the white”). I have used a weak lye solution in the past to strip black anodizing; before taking it to my local fabricator and having them apply the clear anodizing. My daughter recently decided slime is awesome so there is a ton of Borax around the house. Has anyone tried and know a solution of borax that will strip anodizing. Yes I know I could sand blast, my local fabricator even offered to, but they’re a tad indelicate.
