Just another build thread - Sort my combo!

So I'm finally moved in to the new shop!



or at least my half of it :p

I'm curious about a sort of DIY hot tank using lye. I've heard of folks dropping parts in a bath of drain cleaner (or some other form of sodium hydroxide) and water over heat. Anyone tried something like this? Looks like some folks setup an electrolysis bath and others just use crystal drano or something similar.

I can always run by a local machine shop, but I dont have my own truck anymore and i've been interested in this process so I thought i'd give it a shot!
