it's been a while but the Skymaster restoration has begun somewhat. after consultation with Atlanta 60 (formerly navav2002) I have decided to remove the paint in advance of the fiberglass repair. The product Citristrip works very well for paint removal from fiberglass and fiberglassed wood surfaces. simply slather it on and 10-30 minutes later scrape (plastic scraper) it off. in this project the 1st application removed the old yellowed clear coat and some of the softer paint. additional applications removed the harder paint and the paint under the clear coat. some of the paint was so durable it took very firm scraping to remove. still a long way to go before the fuse is clean but a good start. after the paint is removed and the fuse is totally stripped clean it will be delivered to Chuck for the fiberglass repairs.
