    Default Paint Stripper and Naval Jelly

    I know opinions vary on the subject, some say sandblast, others say hand prep.
    I have been prepping my PA-22 fuselage with stripper and naval jelly one segment at a time to break it into smaller work lots
    I posted on the other site as to being pleased with the results, just thought Id post a pic.
    Taken just after neutralizing the NJ, prior to final clean up and primer. The dry winter air seems ideal for the task.

    Allan, Has your rudder post been replaced? Looks awful tall. How long do you figure it will take to do the naval jelly trick to the whole fuselage?

    Not to my knowledge Steve, I think its just perspective of the camera, I have not been keeping tabs on my time but just a few evenings after the day job, I'd have to guess including stripping and naval Jelly I've probably got 6 hours in the aft segment some of that time is just letting the chemicals work. about half of that time is naval jelly treatment. Some segments will be easier some will be much harder I'll guess I'll have 45 hours in it when I'm done.

    If I'm lucky.... :shock:

    Removes rust, oxidation and conditions the steel for primer adhesion. I'm using it as opposed to sandblasting the tubes.

    Hey Hillbilly; I showed my Wife the picture above to illustrate to her what a REAL work area looks like in the middle of a restoration project. She said that you and I would get along real well !

    No comment Honey. Oh and I can sympathize with a small work area.

    Heh Homer, my wife knows shes not allowed into the shop unless I ask her to come in...LOL
    Its a real close fit in there already, I have to walk outside to change my mind...
    One of my friends says it looks like I took the roof off and crashed it in there.

    Rex, tell Kim you're coming to my shop to watch my stripper "work"...
