Tonight was rough. I rocked it solo, tackling the undercoating again. I started out the evening by using a chip brush to spread some aircraft stripper on the offending undercoat. While I waited for that to do its magic, I cut some sweet chunks of metal with my bandsaw. The triangle pieces will be some bracing for my crossmember brackets.
After that was done, I started scraping. And scraping. And scraping. I’ve found in my trial and error with undercoat removal that stripper->scraping->then knotted wire wheel is the best work flow for removing the undercoat and controlling the mess somewhat.
I didn’t get to the knotted wire wheel yet, that comes next time!
