[TheForge] Chrome removal

[Bruce Freeman]

Maybe a pretty-colored braze instead of a weld?

Greetings,
      I have been asked to weld a broken rig (guard) on a rapier (sword0.  The
guard is removable but it is chromed.  I know enough to have a fan blowing
behind me to take the fumes away and have the exhausst fan going full blast.

My question is this: Is there a way to remove the chrome from the whole rig
other than burning it off? Can I rechrome it? If I can't rechrome it, I will
have to polish and then use some blueing.  Polishing it on the inside of the
rig is going to be a pain....I could tumble it....

Suggesetions?

Danr
