Paint Stripper

Got any spare barn space you want to rent out to someone wanting to store some classic cars? :) (I have to ask since i'm desparately trying to find some since my collection is getting evicted from my parents garden!)

I was aiming to have mine done sometime last year! ;)

Its worse when you have it in the drive of a house - random passers by come and have a go at you in addition to the friends and family!

I had some kids convinced the other day that i was joining the army and they had given me my own truck to paint first! (they cant have been very quick since it was fairly obvious i was removing the paint!)

I'm on target to use 7 or more gallon cans too..

and a pair of marigolds will stop you burning your hands. I stole a fetching purple pair out of the kitchen! (normal mechanics latex gloves will not stop nitromors)

I wear a long sleeved top and my glasses while i'm nitromosing too. Makes it much less painfull!

Yeah, my "othahalf" suffered the same fault. To fix the problem it was suggested I buy a 2 seater soft-top. So I (naturally) got a GS.

Just before I put the full face mask on - neighbours were calling estate agents first thing the following morning...

Or an angle grinder, or welding, or whilst replacing fibreglass insulation, or, well, any time you're working on an effing 101...

On or around Wed, 03 Aug 2005 23:16:15 +0100, Mother enlightened us thusly:

yeah, twas here. brackets are not nice in URLs...

not as bad as the smartgroups photo hosting bit which insists on replacing underscores with spaces. I've told them about it several times, but it still does it.

I must have been half asleep when i posted it - agent didnt parse it properly here either!. Nor will a lot of web based bulletin board software (from experience). I keep using that ms powertoy thingy to resize photos as its so easy, and it puts the brackets in there for you. Then i forget to take em out!

The sandal's really complete the effect! :)

I found that the "marigolds" from the kitchen here didn't stop nitromors when doing a timber door. Better than nothing but after half an hour or so I could feel the stuff starting to burn me. If I was to do any more I try the "rubber" dipped cotton gloves I have now. They are supposed to be chemical resistant.
