Stripping nickel from bronze

I need information on how to strip the nickel plate off old bronze lighting. I want to bring it to the natural bronze. Thanks Judi

Almost any plating shop can do this for you, Judi. As for doing it yourself though, it requires proprietary stripping chemicals (such as offered by Metalx (Ronatec.us) [a finishing.com supporting advertiser]), and it is something that perhaps cannot be safely be done except by trained technicians in an industrial setting.

Good luck.
