Removing chrome
Does anybody have experience with removing the chrome off their clubs? I just bought the J33 blades and was thinking of converting them to "raw" irons. Let me know if you have experience and what you used.
thanks

I am not sure if the coke bath works for chrome or not.. I know that you can remove a gunblue finish in a coke bath.. Could work for chrome?

I sandblasted 3 old wedges I had laying around here. Chrome came off, grooves were the same. However they did not rust, likely do to the nickel.
I agree with COV, get it done by a pro.
Here is a link, some thoughts on what you want to do.

Removing Chrome Plating
Q. What is the easiest way to remove chrome or can you let me know where to purchase a chemical to do this with as my supplier stopped selling the stripper that I used. A. Sodium hydroxide at 8-12 oz/gal (w/v) works well for electrostripping chromium from carbon steel substrates. The bath can be operated at ambient temperature or higher, at a current density of 0.25 - 1.0 amp/sq.in. The fumes evolved are toxic and must be evacuated and scrubbed. The bath starts out as a simple solution of caustic soda but acquires an increasing component of a hexavalent chromium compound as the metallic chromium is electrostripped from the workpieces. The spent solution is hazardous waste and must be properly disposed.My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

Dave,
A buddy of mine sandblasts chrome parts to prep them for re chrome. He is an Automotive Restoration Specialist. I was going to take a set over and blast them but never got around to it so I am not sure if it would work on club heads.
