The tar is up, but there is a residue left that i cant deal with...
Ok, I've tried: Aircraft stripper Heat and scraper, wire wheels, many types, 3m paint stripper wheel my fingernail fire spit 6" 40 grit sanding discs Seriously though - there is a thin thin film that i can scrape with my fingernail of glue like residue that wont come up. It keeps getting on my wire wheels then smears as a haze accross the nice bare metal. It SUCKS! I cant find anything that removes it. And what is your truck to removing the seam sealer too? I want to smooth it all down and reseal it. Thanks guys. The car is nearly a completely stripped rolling tub and i am trying hard to get it fully prepped so my body guy only has to cutout bad metal, weld in new, and get the interior and engine bay painted. |

brake cleaner.... Check.
respirator.... Check. open garage door.... um. well....uh.. I'm dizzy as shit right now and am having trouble typing... feel like about 6 beers deep - a little silly. used a whole can of brake cleaner and a load of shop paper towels to get the entire passenger side and half the drivers side floors cleaned up ready to wire wheel down. weeeeeeee. LOL (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) hahaha. this is a messed up feeling for sure. LOL i'm an idiot. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) o... and i bought a air-sander today. WTF there is like a half inch chunk of metal that holds down the sanding disc and my compressor (fair sized sears standup) comes on every 3 seconds! how is this worth a shit? why would anyone use one of these. Every once i've seen is the same too... i just found the cheapest and finally bought it. i think i'll take it back and get the orbital one that uses stick on pads vs this one which is gay. |
