Sitting here waiting to see if it actually works. Cash register post to follow tomorrow!

Edit: 2 hours in, 2 parts mostly de-nickeled. Holy crap I'm gonna need to buy more wire brushes and sandpaper, augh.

So does she just spin around on her hind legs instead of using a centrifuge?

She is well equipped for chemistry

Stripping nickel is college chemistry
Wxcept with (usually) stronger acids

1. I like that even though she's using magic, Celestia is still wearing gloves when handling chemicals.

2. WHY DID SHE TOUCH HER FACE WITH THE GLOVES AFTERWARDS?!

With enough practice, I am sure that you will become a great stripper.

My chemistry is a long time since high school but you seem to have lost at least 3 gold and 4 sodium in that equation and there is no accounting for the oxygen. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong. Like I said. its been a while.

Good luck. Hopefully, it goes better than my copper plating experiment a few months ago. I did see this in a Bellingham Washington museum, and I grapped a snap for you

Your stripping adventure has inspired me to finish removing the rust from some of my grandfather's old tools. Thanks for the motivation!

That is an amazing thingamabob. Uhhh ... what's it for?

It's a kind of right angle clamp for stands and holders. Used in chemistry and industrial applications, like my magnetic stirring hotplate.

Oh for crying out loud. I have seen those clamps in NileRed's videos.
Thanks for the answer 😀
