Shoulda mentioned that.  The plane was jacked up with 4 layers of heavy 
plastic under it.  It had a 12" lip around the perimeter to catch the 
rinsed stripper which was then pumped into drums to be disposed.  This 
was the 80's  and precautions were taken even then.  Only a small area 
was stripped at a time.  It was rather a mess, however.

So, there's my previous occupation..."stripper".
