I had arranged for a soda blast guy to come this past weekend to give me an estimate, but he never showed up.

Hangar Flying / Re: Paint stripping
« on: May 14, 2010, 11:30:55 AM »I'm sure you already know, but I gotta mention - any stripper or mixture you consider using should be checked to see if it is possible for it to harm the foam. If there's a way, it will find its' way to the foam and could melt it.Yep I know, but I hadn't thought about that issue. Thanks!
Good luck.

Hangar Flying / Paint stripping
« on: May 14, 2010, 08:47:53 AM »
Is there a way to strip just the topcoat and leave the primer? I used Blue River water-borne urethane, and it is cracking, ad flaking off. The primer is fine, and showing through in a lot of places. It was a lot of work to fill/sand/fill/prime, as most of you know, and I would hate to do all of that again.
My primer was US paints, and their rep at Oshkosh said their AwlGrip primer is pretty tough, and I could probably find a concoction of chemicals to wash the Blue River junk off. He just didn't say what mixture
I have been looking at some of the newer, milder, chemical strippers, but none say they can only take off one layer of paint. I have also looked at soda blasting, but i get the idea that it would also take off all the paint.
If it matters, my plane is a Rutan Defiant (hi Harry)
