Stripping problem
Hi
I need to do some stripping, and she needs it done quick. Well I got the stripper in (strypit with methylene chloride) but as well as removing the water based gloss, it also strippped the original sprayed on coating on the metalwork - and thats not really acceptable. Wasnt satisfied with my unsophisticated technique. I need to remove the water gloss but leave the original metal appliance coating intact. I aint not got much clue how to do that, presumably something less powerful. But what?? I'll try white spirit and olbas oil tomorrow am, but what'll work? Any ideas? Got to get this done fairly quickly, they dont like painted boilers apparently. I'll try to get back to this puter 2morrow too ty, NT |

Swarfega maybe? Soda blasting? Alkalis are effective on oil based paints, but don't touch acrylics |
