    David,
    This morning I tried Draino, about 1/2tsp in an ounce of water, enough to cover the blue anodozed AN6 nut that I was using as a test case. Using a plastic stir stick I agitated the part for about fifteen seconds and took it out. As I moved it toward the rinse water the part was smoking a bit from the continuing reaction. Out of the rinse the blue was now a dull brownish black, and about a minute on the buffing wheel had it shining bright. Seemed to work very quickly, and no adverse effect on the nut.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
