Thank you for this video. I'm about to strip my engine bay down for a repaint and wasn't entirely sure what to use. Very helpful.

when using the alkaline strippers (non citrus), keep a small "finger bowl" with lacquer thinner in it. the lac stops the stripper "biting", and is quite nice for the little splashes onto sensitive flesh that seem to be burning their way to shanghai via the bones in your wrist, or your belly, or those delicate spots not so mentionable on so "family" a comment board, lol. NEVER let stripper dry on the panel, re application on top of dried just makes awful, smeary, sticky plastic goo that defies removal. warm metal strips easier than cold, but also dries the stripper faster. NEVER use chem stripper in direct sunlight, btw, it goes to goo as often as bond breaking, after chem stripping, wipe with lac to "stop" the stripper, THEN you can soda blast, prep etch, etc without ghosts of alkaline corrosives spoiling your day.

@ludditeneaderthal2 жыл бұрын
@@woodworkerroyer8497 lol, large pieces, waist high tank, mopping the stripper on with a Tampico roofing brush, it becomes a fairly splashy affair. Lean on a wet edge, it just becomes an itch til you peel the wetted t-shirt off the flesh... or so I read once I think, lol.

I'm trying to strip the paint off my 1970 vw beetle of its original paint but I'm not sure what I should use and I'm a beginner at doing this and I'd like to do all the steps of stripping and priming before I send it off to painting

People don’t seem to realize the grinder turns in a direction that tightens the threads. I’ve seen people put one on and put all their strength into tightening.
@AgentWest3 жыл бұрын
They do have to be at least somewhat tight. I have an air powered 4.5" grinder that loves to throw the discs off. Had to chase one or two across the shop before! :)

The gel method, does it need to be neutralized?
@CJurasin5 жыл бұрын
I wetsand the panel when I've got most of the paint off.....and the water neutralizes the stripper. Just wipe the water off immediately after and you can coat it with Fast Etch or a similar product.

If someone is stripping the threads out of plastic discs they are more than likely hitting the edge of the work piece. It will jolt the disc tighter causing the threads to pull.

after you have got the paint off with the chemical stripper, what steps would you take before painting? Would a wipe with some white spirits be enough to remove it?

I guess it is self evident but the bristles are more than plastic. They are impregnated with a ceramic abrasive. I would like to see a comparison between the coarser bristle brush and the coarse 3M roloc pads like the purple one or Norton's Gold one. I would like a comparison between the plastic bristle brush and the stiff unbacked woven hard wheels in general.

I'm new to this stuff. I have one question though. I am interested in the media blaster you have there. The blue one. If I was to purchase one would that be it or would I need an air compressor? I have an 80 gallon air compressor in my garage. Can I use it with that or is the media blaster you have there in the video it??

If you get an engine back from the engine shop but won't be working on it for a little while is it okay to spray the machined surfaces with fast etch? (cylinder walls, cam/crank journals)
@eastwoodco6 жыл бұрын
I don't recommend Fast Etch. Ask the engine builder what they recommend, which will likely be coating them with oil.

Soda blasting leaves a film which is pH base. Does this need to be removed before painting?
@eastwoodco10 жыл бұрын
Yes. that film must be removed. We recommend using Eastwood PRE Painting Prep, available in aerosols or gallons. Visit www.eastwood.com.
@MotoGPatrick3 жыл бұрын
Pretty much any media leaves a film. I've used plastic media on aluminum aircraft skin and we used products similar to this companies fast etch and then Pre as well as alodine. At home, I've found a wet media blaster kit on a high power pressure washer to be awesome. I used Rustoleum gell rust dissolver first on axle rust and on a used Deaver leaf spring pack I stripped and refinished. I'm ordering the fast etch and pre. Really just have good paint and rust-free sheet metal but axle and light frame weld rust. Corrosion control protocol on an off-roader.
