Final Approach
What are your suggestions (materials, method, product) for stripping the paint from the various aluminum parts on the Citabria? We brought several pieces home to work on.
Thanks.

SkyHog said:hmm. I didn't know that sandblasters actually used sand. Learn something new everyday.
Greg Bockelman said:Hence the name. Now they are called "Media Blasters". But I think they can use anything that will run through the unit. Not sure on that though.
Thanks Gary. Where do you go to buy this stuff?Gary said:Diana:
The methylene chloride strippers will work far better and will have no effect on the aluminum. They WILL have an effect on plastics, fiberglass resins, rubber and your health if not used correctly.
