I use Ali-brite made by septone over here. I did a batch on sunday, 6hrs total.
First I used dishwashing liquid and warm water to get my finger prints off, ( use rubber gloves when doing this ) the i used an etch cleaner, then sray the parts.
Dont let the parts drip dry, you must use a rag and die them off.
6hrs was a long time by myself, i was able to do the HS and VS, now I just have to shoot and buc'em together.
