Good stuff. I left it in the hands of our shipping department so it comes as something of a surprise that it didn't take 3 weeks and arrive via Katmandu. :)

Shipment was meant to be here today. But just been told they not back to work until Wednesday after the Chinese New year. So I am pushing the thumb screws hard. 86Kg of Led's should soon be on their way :)

Kev. Got my Phos. Acid coming soon. How long you dip them for?
it depends on what it is - with fresh acid it can be rapid so be careful, but i put some lampholders in over night and it still hadn't removed all the rust. The acid does seem to neutralise fairly quickly, watch for the effervescence and judge it by that. All a bit hit and miss i'm afraid!!! dilute it 1:3 and remember, add acid to water, not the other way around.

Cheers Kev
 
The way I remember it is Acid to water = There is no slaughter
Water to Acid = The explosion is massive :)

Saved my life many times in the laboratory.
 
Decals finally arrived and they dont look too bad - cant wait to get them fitted now just need a cab to put them on @steve brum :) roll on 8bitflip !!!


Still I can crack on with the head whilst I'm waiting !

Cheers Kev
