Interior Stripping
Tried 2 milder products with little luck.
Aircraft Stripper seems to be the best
solution.
Use proper protection! Respirator, Goggles and cover your skin. Have clean water
with paper towels handy to QUICKLY remove any that gets on your skin. It will
give you a 3rd degree chemical burn! As an extra precaution, I had a hose
outside to flush any areas affected by the remover.
Exterior / Interior Damage uncovered...
After 3 applications of the Aircraft Stripper
85% of the paint has been removed.
Zolatone comes off hard and leave behind a very thin residue.
After removing as much as possible with the stripper and razor blade, I used "Gray" Scotch Brite pads and more stripper on the pad to get the residue off. Then, painted more stripper around the rivets and scrubbed with a "Brass" wire brush.
Washing the area with clear water and a sponge, then wipe dry.
