Title: stripping 2 pack epoxy paint
Post by: imsinking on August 18, 2016, 10:52:51 pm
After the success of the 'Fantasy Huntress' I'm looking to redo the old aerokits  Huntsman in new colours , I sprayed this 30 years ago in Humbrol two pack Black (wooden hull)
Will NITROMORS shift this ?
Or is it 'sanders elbow' as the only alternative  ?
It has to come off as there's water damage in places & the paint has partially lifted here & there .

if its a wooden hull Bill I would test [size=0px]NITROMORS on a small piece under the hull but keep a careful watch on the result, you could use [/size]NITROMORS sparingly leave for a few minutes then give it some elbow with wire wool may take a few go`s at it Bill but would save damaging your hull, you would have to wash the NITROMORS off with water ensuring you get all the chemical off without water logging the wooden hull

Mark.

 {:-{  that's the problem with wood hull's , getting rid of any chemical / brake fluid / etc residue before it soaks into the wood . . .
The ideal solution would be just to flat the existing paint down & go over it , but there's too many places where it's starting to lift .
