[Shop-talk] Removing bondo

[Brian Kemp]

Doug - A wire wheel in an angle grinder will make it all go away real 
fast.  Do it outside when there is a breeze and wear a dust mask or 
respirator in addition to goggles.  It will also save you having to 
sandblast everything except inside corners and you can easily get all 
the open areas down to clean metal.
