Regarding the protective gear... I'll second the recommendation not to neglect it. If the product in question is: W M BARR & COMPANY INC -- GAR343 KLEAN-STRIP AIRCRAFT REMOVER Then I agree, it IS NOT for the squeamish: http://hazard.com/msds/f/bzt/bztrd.html 80-85% Methylene Chloride - plus ammonia and methanol. Here's a web site for recommended gloves for methylene chloride: http://www.chemrest.com/netscape/Methylene%20Chloride%20ranking.htm I'd recommend an air-purifying respirator too - use an organic vapor canister. But if not, remember this is definitely not a six pack job. Alcohol and methylene chloride don't mix. Methylene Chloride is a suspected carcinogen. OK, enough said. -Dana '71 fb --------------------------------- In a message dated 7/14/02 10:05:41 AM CDT, comwest@att.net writes: BrianP=> Can anyone give me the pros and cons of chemical paint removers? The aircraft-grade products work pretty well. Buy from a pro paint-supply shop. Follow directions faithfully, and don't neglect the protective gear. Steven Ayres, Prescott AZ '66 KG1600 ----------- From: DGaries808@aol.com Aircraft Remover is the brand name of the product I have used. It will remove paint and bondo from any painted surface. You pour it on and use a paint brush to put it on all surfaces. You let it set for 30 minutes or so and scrape it off with a putty knife. It's good stuff. But watch out for under-application. You should see it bubble up the paint while you work with it. You should use rubber gloves when you use Aircraft Remover. If you get any on your hands, be sure to wash it off promptly. On the can it tells you that it is not recommended for the squeamish. ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
