Thanks guys! I think Ill use the stripper method, after the sun has
gone down and the thing has cooled.

Down to 90F? It was 100F here today. How melted was Taft?

I dont know..Ive not been home for 3 weeks..worked straight through on
finishing up the Project...Ill be home Friday..with luck.



I tried my heated pressure washer
(Hotsie) and it didnt do much good.

Those don't have all that much high pressure, do they? I picked up a
Karcher 3kpsi PW last month and have used it 3 times already for
clients. It was a good investment.

They put out a pretty good pressure stream. Ehough to have stripped
all the paint off my old Rangers fraime ..



Any brand of stripper better than others, available from the big box
stores or paint supply places?

Jasco at the Borgs. Anything with Methylene Chloride (or was it MEK?
I forgot.) is the good stuff. It'll take off epoxies and
polyurethanes, too. It's $30/gallon, though.

Cringe.....

Try brake fluid first, though. It's cheaper (if not free) from the
brake shop. Another way to stretch your stripper is to put a couple
layers of newsprint on top. It helps keep it from evaporating too
quickly.

Not a bad idea!

Actually if you apply stripper, cover with a sheet, cover with wax
paper, let it work, drink Mountain Dew, then move the stripper
impegnanted sheet to the next part, repeat...the stripper will go a
very long way...the Mountain Dew well I can't do miracles.

Oh yeah about methylene chloride, don't use it if you are
pregnant. ;)
