I am getting into the stripping phase of my restoration. I found that by
attaching a wire brush to my air powered die grinder I can strip an awful lot
of paint and rust fairly fast, and then sand blast corners and ridges the
brush can't hit. I am also thinking about using a commercial stripper for
large open areas, and finishing it out using the brush and sandblaster. Is
there any objection to this approach?
