Maybe just use water nad > allow to dry for a *long* time? Most strippers are water soluble so water is a good rinse. If you have oil/grease to get off too, then you may need something in addition to the water, but soap and water followed by water might be fine. You really want it to dry rather quickly so that the metal doesn't rust. A final rinse with alcohol will remove most of the water and dry extra quickly. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
