      I agree with colorado here. You are gonna go thru a bunch...I mean it will amaze you how fast it goes. Cheaper the better...just plain ol generic or even no name...brown bag stuff.

      Not trying to scare you away from the aircraft stripper...just be careful when ya use it.. In my youth, I was very uncareful about chemicals. I remember when I first started turning wrenches for a living,just walking over to the valsol tank to clean parts with no gloves or anything. I did that for years until one day a safety inspector came by and gave me a "you know what your doing to yourself" speech. Then when I got into automotive finishes I learned just how nasty pretty much all chemicals are. But they have their uses...just be careful with em.
      We will probably learn in 5 years or so that baking soda causes hair loss or somethinglol

      take care, and let us know how it turns out for you...

          just get a 50lb bag at harbor freight it's about 30 bucks for 50 lbs which should be cheaper then the box stuff. Comes out to about 1.66 bucks a pound.

            BAKING SODA, NOT POWDER-Dang, I bet you I would have spent $50.00 on Baking Powder, heck maybe even Confectionary Sugar if I was in a rush. Good save Colorado!

            Good tip FIRST TIMER-If my local HF sells Soda, that would be cheaper too I think.

            I'm about to pull the cylinder head off tonight, when I get her back on, valve check while I'm at it.

            Ever notice when you start one thing, YOU JUST HAVE TO get another project done too. Ahhhh, OCD. It could be worse I guess.
