[AT] OT - paint stripping

[Mike]

Thanks for the idea, I have them bubbling away in the garage, the latex paint gave up without much of a fight, but the older stuff underneath may take overnight. I'm using lye at about 1 TBS per gallon. 
Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike, I had a link bookmarked for this but it is no longer online. I 
setup a fiftyfive gallon plastic barrel(could be a five gallon bucket, 
use on tenth of soda) filled with water that had a box of Arm and Hammer 
washing soda dissolved into it. you insert a piece of sheet metal that 
is the height of the container and reaches about half way round the 
inside. hook the positive cable from a battery charger to the sheet 
metal and the negative to what you want to remove the paint from and 
hang it into the water. Plug the charger in and a few hours later the 
paint will be gone, I use the drum to remove paint from tractor parts, 
it also removes rust.. You put a pan with one gallon of water on the 
stove when your wife isn't lookin and add the washing soda to the hot 
water and stir till water is clear before pouring into the barrel. Ed
