Eruntalon's Fortress Maximus H202 Restoration

[kup]

I ran into the same problem while trying to disassemble my Max. As you can see in the parts photo, I never managed to disassemble it and simply protected the red bits with hobby tape.

Unfortunately the parts are indeed held together by not just screws but also through those metal studs as well as the pins holding the blue 'belt' buckle. I never tried to remove them so I am not sure if once taken out there won't be anything else holding it together but I don't think there is.

My suggestion in this case when it comes to dealing with this issue in restoring the tower with H2O2 would be to find a jar tall and wide enough to contain it (I suspect you have since Max's other parts aren't small), close the tower and place it upside down in it so that the metal is on top. Fill the jar with the H2O2 but only until the blue plate so that it remains above the H2O2 so you don't risk metal/paint corrosion.

May I suggest a small fish tank instead?

Thanks guys. I intend to separate the blue metal plate entirely as I'm going to hammer out the pins, but I will be left with two gray and red plastic halves with some metal parts remaining. Hopefully these remaining metal parts won't start deteriorating in the chemicals.

I am yet to see any deterioration (I have actually seen rusty screws cleaned up!) but that i only with a concentration of 6%. In theory, H2O2 is corrosive to metal but I think this is dependent on very high concentrations and very long term submersion (months).

Make some paste up instead. This is exactly why it's useful. You don't have to bath every part.

I have heard of this paste but I am still not clear on what it is, where to get it from and how it works.

I put the following link in the thread you started.

You follow the recipe and make your own.

good thinking, it also has its own cover.perfect.

yep and some fishtanks have light fittings in the lid too so you can swap out the regular light bulb with a UV bulb and BAM you can do whitening 24/7!!!

Dismantled and ready for cleaning:



As you can see I was never able to fully dismantle the coning tower. Every other part has been dismantled except the lift mechanism which does not require any cleaning.
