Doesn't remove paint or varnish but it removed any oily contaminants left from the parts washer. We used to have Safety Kleen at work but pretty sure it was paraffin or some brew other than Jizer. As Jizer emulsifiers when wet. Yea good stuff Jizer and Gunk but not sure if it's still sold in the same formulation as yonks ago.

Been busy prepping BZP parts for 5 of my resto bikes. 1st batch ready to pick up from Allenchrome in Pocklington. Taking the second batch on Thursday. Nice guys to deal with.
Cleaned up the frame firstly with water and detergent. then into the degreaser then rinsed and dried. I was going to then apply paint stripper but undecided as there is little corrosion. I experimented with the bead blaster by fitting the rear part in and then 'sealing' the door area with blankets. Not ideal but I can probably come up with a suitable framework/covering. Anyway I managed to selectively bead blast the rear top shock mount and seat hinges. Silvers tell me that on their 400/4 restos, where the paint is pretty good, they leave the good areas and spray on top. I don't want to powder coat this bike but I have nothing against it really (My 750K0 is powder coated). Any ideas on the best way to proceed? Do I strip the whole lot or do what DS do?
Pics of the degreaser for Oddjob and compressor that feeds the bead blaster.
Menno tells me that my paint may will be ready next week.
Got my set of pattern pipes from DS and on first inspection they look really nice (see separate posting with pics & fitting instructions).
I started honing my bores but decided I will take them to my mate who has a lot more experience than me.

More pics.
When I got the DS pipes I spotted he had kickstart gears NOS for £10 so I bought one.
Compair compressor feeds the bead-blaster at work.
The de-burring station is a bench grinder with two grades of Scotchbrite wheels ...great for cleaning parts.

Spent ages cleaning up parts for replating on my 5 'Project' bikesover the last two months. Took 2nd batch for BZP today and picked up the first batch ... cost £50 and probably one of the best fifty quids worth I have spent on my bikes.
Dropped off 3 rims (F&R CB500K0 and one CB250 rear) at a new chrome platers I have found on the outskirts of Leeds. BZP was done by AllenChrome in Pocklington, just outside of York ...bloody nice people to deal with :). The guy there is chrome plating smaller parts for me (kickstart gear lever, exhaust clamps etc. etc.) that I have had stripped in a chrome bath and polished myself, so we will see how that pans out. Going to take him loads more chroming to do over the next few weeks
