I bought easy off (spray can) and try to remove anodisation and it doesn't work well. Did i bought the worng one because i found only one in spray can. Does easy of make different one, in liquid? actually it came of but only in same spots and it looks messy.

Has always worked for me, we just used it at work to remove the anno off of some braided line fittings for a show bike, they polished right up after that.

what are you trying to strip? some things look like anodizing, but aren't ( and vice-versa).

Was it "Oven" easy off? Not sure if they make any other kind, but make sure of it. Spray on, let sit, just before it dries, wiper down..

We use to use it all the time BITD, and it worked great. One of the guys even put his in the OVEN to heat it up, but they came out just the same.

You should be able to see it working!? And don't forget the polishing compound, lots of elbow grease also. But generally worth it!

I was looking on the web about anodizing and found a couple interesting things.
