OK so I went down and got some aircraft stripper this morning. Reading and taking everyone's suggestions, based on previous posts. THis is some kind of joke right? THis is something everyone plans for the newbies?
It is coming off but with three layers of paint good god what a pain in the ass....... I sear there is 12 coats of paint ifthere's one!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) To top it off. I'm having the carpet cleaned, and the guy is running the hoses through the house, and then out the garage. He is finishing up and while winding his hoses, he knocks over the pan I'm using to brush the stripper on the car with, and the can of the stripper. Dragging the drop clothes the length of the garage!!!! Is everyone stupid around the country, or just in California!!! Deep breath!!!!!! mmmm ok...Back to work..... |

Yeah.. Stripping with BLASTED ON dry ice IS the shiznit.. Even takes off the undercoating on the bottom AND the interior floor pans.
Plus some of these guys are mobile. No residue, no stripper wicking into the paint a month later and no sand floating to the top of the paint.. Is really the hot setup... Gunna have mine done that way as soon as I get the rotiiserie from John at the body shop. Hey..... Heres one for you... have ya ever tried to get the baked on oil based sound deadner off the floor pan of a teener or even worse a honda? Just go buy a BIG block of dry Ice. Have em cut it in thirds. Place it on the floor pan... Wait ten minutes and hit the floor pan with a big rubber mallet.. The stuff shatters likes MattRs tears when Slits is yelling at him....And comes off clean. Way fast... And way time effective. Doesnt work for every nick and crany. But it works trick... This is an old school trick.. Me thinks I should write a book on how to do stuff the easy way.. And every non-member of our community gets to add a blurb..!!!!! We can call it. THE WAY AARON SHOULD OF DONE IT FIRST TIME AROUND" And for Bri... Yup if you add Toluene or even better Methlene Chloride. It speeds up the action of the stripper. And yes it evaporates even faster... hence using plastic to cover the stripper to slow down the evaporation rate and allow the stripper to stay PH compliant and effective for a longer period of time. I used to own a commercial striping company eons ago... the systems are still pretty much the same as they have been for 40 years. PM me if ya need a discourse on the possibility's.................................. Twystd1 |
