|
|
I had a thought, and tested it on some waste material - thought I would throw it out there for the knowledgable to thrash....
I took a chunk of excess butt rib standoff tee, taped it off with 3M green, and painted on some gell-type paint stripper. 30 min later I wiped off the excess and took a wire wheel to it with the die grinder. After removing the paint I wiped everything down with MEK. the tape gave a nice clean edge to the remaining powder coat.
I've already done most of the hard stuff by flapper wheel (lift strut attach brackets, etc.). I know this is too easy, and therefore wrong.....
Always a slacker-

Ok, I am very surprised this didn't get a response. I've never met such an opinionated bunch as aircraft builders!! Just ask them which engine/covering system/etc. is best....
I'd hate to think this is a good idea - it is just too easy.

hello all,
I used permatex gasket remover to remove some powder coat. I gooogled "powder coat removal" and found this web site.
