ebinmaine 63,371 #1054 Posted March 28, 2021 Today we're headed about 1.5 hours North to Augusta Maine. Plan is to make spindles and get some other metal work projects done by/with our friend. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregor 4,838 #1055 Posted March 28, 2021 @ebinmaineI need to know Trinas secret to stripping paint. I have the aluminum dash cowling from the 876 slathered in stripper. Seems to have little or no effect at all. Tried 2 different strippers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the aluminum dash cowling from the 876 slathered in stripper. Seems to have little or no effect at all. Tried 2 different strippers. Greg we've tried a few. Not been overly impressed by any of them. We use nearly 100% mechanical means. Mostly cup style wire brush on a body grinder. Occasionally we break the surface of the paint with coarse sandpaper and then use progressively finer stuff... On aluminum we use NO chemical at all. I've tried a couple in the past just leaving them on for 3 to 5 minutes so as not to hurt the aluminum but found the results far less than pleasing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,944 #1059 Posted March 28, 2021 Greg, have you ever tried electrolysis or e-tank? It works so well, then rinses off! water, washing soda (NOT BAKING SODA) and an electric charge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,445 #1063 Posted March 28, 2021 Might try soaking the parts in Simple Green cleaner. This works for some things. On baked enamel, maybe not. Would take at least a week of soaking, probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
