She did it very carefully (apart from doing it in a small enclosed space!), that's why it took her so long. After every small application of caustic soda solution she rinsed it with lots of water so the NaOH didn't have time to corrode the metal or get into the joints. The frame is still safe, she's been riding it every day for 12 months since she stripped it.
