Powder coat removal?

Methylene chloride the -only- type of stripper to use. Hard on the
enviro and skin, but even tougher on multiple coats of paint. The B17
sounds like good stuff, with 45% content.


Hmm ... reminds me of another chemical -- pyradine (sp?). A
friend (who had no sense of smell -- the stuff stinks) was pouring a
little into a glass ampoule in prepration to seal it and use it as a
small stink bomb (this was in college), and a drip got away from him in
a windowsill. It was about 10 inches above the surface, and by the time
my eyes caught up with it, it had stripped back the paint for about a
5/16" circle -- pretty much instantaneous. :-)

I don't know what kind of hazards are associated with it, but I
would certainly not use it indoors. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
