Stripping chrome without destroying thread
Hoping to get some ideas on stripping chrome plating from a dumbbell handle and its threaded section. I considered sandblasting, but was told it could damage the threads, so I’m keen to hear from anyone who has tackled something similar. It’s currently sitting in a vinegar bath to remove surface rust, and I’m wondering whether that will help loosen the chrome layer too. Ideally, I’m looking for a practical DIY method that preserves the threads and leaves a suitable surface for refinishing. Any ideas, suggestions or firsthand experience would be appreciated!
