[Mgs] Stripping paint, uggg.

[Clayton Kirkwood]

Well, it was good prose:>) What I was meaning to get out, was, the can says
the chemicals used can not be made unposionous and therefore, care must be
used in it's disposal. When you put it on the paint, it loosens the paint
and apparently you can wipe it off. But does it stay a poisounous compound
requiring special handling at the local garbage dump, or does it evaporate
and therefore is no longer a nasty thing?

Yes, after about 5 minutes, I scrape the part with a putty knife, wiping the
goo onto a paper towel.  I then usually wipe the piece with a town moistened
in lacquer thinner, leaving anything on the surface of the metal to
evaporate.  I then sand the part with sandpaper and or the wire wheel in a
drill.  I then spray the part with Restomotive's Metal Ready.  Once dry, the
part can then be primered (I use an etch or rust neutralizing primer),
followed by body filler to even out any rust dimples and to smooth the
surface.

When I first read your note I thought you meant; What do you do with the
stripped off paint and stripper?  I keep a roll of paper towels handy and
wipe the scraped-off goo from my putty knife on the paper.
That then goes into the trash.

Did I answer your question, or just write some words?
