In my research into this type of process, each vendor varies slightly

This is a fairly typical process to strip, repair and ecoat a shell (scroll down to the steps section); http://www.surfaceprocessing.co.uk/technical-process.html

Ricks vendors process definitely differs in the 1st stages and sounds similar to envirostips process https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o5kP5PKHfaE (about 25secs in is the shell coming out the oven)

My understanding is the oven process is more gentle on the shell as you are not using so harsh a set of chemicals, the issue with envirostrip method is that they just etch prime at the end. What about the box sections than are now bright steel inside? Framecoat in a rattle can, better than nothing but far from perfect

Sounds like Rick has found the best of both worlds, oven to strip, dip to eat the rust away, repair, re-strip again back to clean steel, then ecoat

I'm sure Rick will chip in and set me straight on his vendors process, but I really like the idea of ecoat
