a better alternative to sand blasting. This process should remove both old

myself? What type of liquid is used, and where can it be bought? >>
Sand blasting works just peachy if you ask me. I chemical dip some of the
smaller pieces that have folds or bends that make it tough to sand off or
blast away. Don't chemical dip anything that does not give the chemicals a
quick and easy escape rout (like body handles) the can eat the metal if they
stay on it too long. Same way with body tubs and front fenders. The wood
filler strips will soak up the chemicals and destroy the surrounding metal as
well as the wood.
