Not tried the washing machine bit, but may have to give it a go!
Mine are submerged up to the first inside bead on the wheel, i flip them over after 12hrs roughly, then the same for the other side and the rubber falls off. What you can fit 100 rims in i've no idea, but i'm sure somebody has found a solution?

They're very much like ice cream tubs but thicker. The fumes coming off it makes for a happy household. See you all sunday

If you want to get them out why not try a cheap pair of tongs like kitchen tongs as there metal and then you wouldnt have to put your hand in.

Wraggy give me a call later when you get chance.

I keep mine in a 6 litre, square tupperware container in the shed, and mine lasts for about 1.5-2 years, you can get around 12 full car sets of wheels in that container (with 5 litres of acetone in)

Will a sandwich box type box be ok? It made of the same material but much bigger....do you just fill it up a couple cm and the vapours do the rest? Wheels are already stripped, how long will it take?

Phil, any car paint supplier will have it in large quantities, its cheaper to buy it a few litres at a time. Just look on yell.com for your nearest one
