Aircraft Stripper Works

This stuff works, just about as good as Sandblasting. I had some wheels that had been painted a few times and I was even having issues getting the media to take off the thick paint/OEM powder coating.

I have used this primarily on aluminum

watchout it will burn you so use thick gloves; it even melts nitrile gloves .

If I kept at it these would get all the residual powder coating off. I'm going to paint the spokes black and clear coat the whole thing with Por-15

Speaking of chemicals... I believe it was here I saw a poll of penetraing oil results. The clear winner (by huge margin) was a homemade brew of 50/50 ATF & acetone.

I'm hear to tell you my first time results with that combo.

I've been replacing all the screws on my 1100 with SS allen-head fasteners & only had the clutch cover to go... I had been hitting these screws every few weeks with PB Blaster since last Sept. Tonite, using an impact hammer I managed to loosen all the screws except for two. I was starting mush up the heads & that's when I remembered the atf/acetone mix. I had the materials so i mixed a small baltch & applied liberally (I will also mention I had just returned from a ride & the cases were hot). Went inside & had a beer, then came out & after 2-3 more whacks with the impact wrench they both broke free !!!

The threads of both screws were wet almost to the end of the threads, I'm sold...
