Hi Mike,
Probably easiest (heheh, still a PITA and not really easy)way would be heat
gun and a scraper.Then solvent and rags to get the residual.Or since you're
stripping it to a bare shell,flip it over, a little gas to get it started,
light it and wait till it all burns off.<VBG>Well, it WOULD work......don't
know if the Hamptoniteswould be too understanding of all the black smoke
tho....

> It turns out my BE undercoating was put on over bare metal and at least some
of it peals off easily. So it will have to be stripped. I don't know what
the undercoating is. This nasty is like fresh roofing tar; it remains sticky
and makes a mess of anything that touches it. Maybe it *is* roofing tar.

thinner mess over an even wider area. I need something that leaves the tar
unable to stick to anything else. Is there a product that turns oil-based goo
into a jell? Aircraft Stripper? Eastwood makes a stripper specifically for
undercoating. Has anyone used it?
