Spring Stripping.

 
 
 
Rust, dirt and layers of old paint…….The not so glamorous sides of restoration.
But there is an easy solution: Strip-All
 
 
 
 
I’ve got a set with a 200 l barrel with heater and chemicals. You have to mix up the Strip-all powder with water.
Then it`s just like cooking a pot roast. Set the heater to 65 C degrees. Go and get a favorite beverage and wait for a day or two. The heavily rusted parts need longer time. After the Strip-all bath I gave the parts a thoroughly wash with a pressure washer.

Clean it like you mean it.

 
 
 
 
At my workplace I have access to a smelly part washer, o yes I only use it for private after work….
