There is apparently a trick to Nitromors according to Bruce, not scraping off the the first lot but adding to it and working it in(this can be repeated several times depending on what you are removing) and leaving it on for the correct amount of time, not letting it dry out, and working on small areas even if it means starting two or three different patches and returning to them.
Its a shame that caustic coda reacts so badly with aluminium. He's got a couple of dip and strip tanks!
