excellent thread......deserves a fresh start at the top for newer folks that don't know it exists

Why can I not see pictures in this? A lot of the replies seem to elude to pictures, but I can't see them. I'm currently trying to get the polycoat off my S2O and I've thrown everything at it with no results. What stripper did he use?

This thread is from 2016-early 2017. I believe it was sometime in 2017 when photo bucket stopped offering free service so the pics associated here probably are not available anymore. Possibly the OP deleted them as well before he left the forum. either way the pics are no longer here.

He used standard aircraft paint stripper. A year or two after this thread was started, the EPA forced manufacturers to remove certain chemicals from paint strippers which ruined thier effectiveness. The old formulas are only available with special permits and not to the general consumer. The new stuff works very slowly, requiring you to submerge the workpiece for an extended period and won't lift the coating like before.
