I feel your pain Lyle, having to strip down that plane again.. I got faith in you that you'll finally get this completed! Keep plugging away man!

Thanks, Mark. It simply is getting too much paint on it anyway. IF this stuff works as advertised it should be a breeze.

Funny you mentioned Stripwell QCS. I just watched a youtube video review not too long ago. For those unfamiliar with this product, here's the video link:

It's supposedly can remove chrome off sprues too.

That ain’t happening. I spend enough on groceries, gas and this hobby.

If you spend a lil' more grocery money on beans and cabbage (pretty cheap eatin'!), you'll find an answer to your gas problems as well Lyle. And more money to lay out for the hobby too, eh? :wink: :lol:

True, but then I can't stand to be in the same room with me.
