I took 42 pieces to the stripper. Everything from the hood and seat pan, to the front spindles, and rear hubs. We'll see how long that takes. More importantly how many $$$$$

It took 2 weeks, and cost $150. Then they let them set there for several days, without calling me, and some pieces rusted up again. I think I will stick to media blasting.

I stripped a hood by putting it in a tub a vinegar. Shop smelled like the Olive Garden and no nasty chemicals. poured the used vinegar on the weeds.

Sounds like a LOT of vinegar!  Bet they looked at ya funny when you went through checkout!

 

Lady I know was prescribed a 'milk bath' by her dermatologist.

She went to the store and told the guy she needed 40 gallons of milk.

He said "Pasteurized"?

She replied, "No only a little above my T1T5 ! "
