So this has come up more then a few times. its good for small parts for. Iv done a whole frame with good results.
this is the stuff I use. its cheaper then aircraft stripper and the same brand.

super easy to use. just make sure you use gloves and be in a well ventilated area. I just brush it on.

when it gets to the point that is peels off just wash it off with H20 and a wire brush. if you really tuff areas give it another round. I have done this same process with a complete frame. brush on and used a pressure washer to get the paint or powder coat off. repeat as needed. the frame took me 3 rounds at about an hour total.

If your trying to remove pc burn it off with propane
-
just dont use propane on aluminum

just dont use propane on aluminum
why not?

makes it extremely weak
why not?
-
yes i know hes talking about removing pc. i would never use it on sensitive parts like engine cases just because of warpage but other than that i dont know why it would make the metal weak.

Ive damaged some aluminum parts using a propane torch , the part was thin aluminum it was probably just operator error :lol:

You can use a propane torch on aluminum how else do you preheat a large part that's super thick?
-
ok yea all aluminum has an oxide skin on it. you can sand it off but it will start to reform within 10 min or so. that oxide skin has a higher melting point than the aluminum itself. so when your heating the temp keeps rising and you do not see any effect on the surface cause that oxide skin isnt hot enough but the aluminum underneath melts without and sign what so ever. so if you want to strip powder with propane just heat really slowly so the aluminum has enough time to come up to temp. that way you will be able to see your powder cook off and wont melt the aluminum underneath. i would never do this to sensitive parts but things like bumpers and grab bars hubs ect will be just fine
-
and yes ive learned this the hard way! going to school for metallurgy has also helped me understand whats going on

i use a propane torch quite often to heat up parts that im going to TIG. especially when im welding thick to thin or a old part when welding a new part to it like a replacement tab for a nerf bar or something like that.

Another good cleaner for aluminum is aluminum brite an acid based cleaner.

good to know. acetone also works well. i wipe down the filler rod before i weld.

Acetone or thinner is great for wiping down for oils where as aluminum brite will strip paints as well as clean it.

Picked up a gallon of this today to try on the clutch cover. Pics to come.

The stripper also recommends acetone for washing parts after stripping. I use lacquer wash as it is cheap and does the same thing.

The good plastic paint is a 3 step process with a flexing agent. I noticed there was a gallon of clean strip that came with a spray bottle. That would work instead of using the rattle can.
