Forever Nickel Stripping: Unclear but Important Question

Summary for forever nickel stripping Discussion

Forever nickel is the focus of this brief thread, but the question is not fully answered because the term itself is unclear. David Fix, a job shop owner, asks whether "forever nickel" can be stripped without etching the under-plating. In response, the only posted reply is from a moderator who says, "I give up, what's 'Forever Nickel'. Can you point us to a description or reference?" No stripping method, chemistry, or process guidance is provided in the excerpt, and no one confirms what the term means. The practical takeaway is that the discussion stalls at identification: before any stripping advice can be given, the coating system and a reference for "forever nickel" need to be defined.
