someone told me that I can strip zinc in a plastic tub filled

I know vinegar has lots of uses, but is this so?

Try it with a penny?

Copper coated zinc? Copper left over?

I'm confused......

looks like I left out something in my post. grrr, hate that when that
happens.

Its for a steel plate that is zinc plated or any steel that has been

Vinegar will etch the galvanized coating, but I seriously doubt it'll
"strip" it. Not strong enough. (Well, maybe if you leave it in for like
two weeks or something.)
