Not far off but I've still got the chainguard to strip and would like to hit the tight spots a little better first, so this is were I'm at until tomorrow.

I did find a full can of oven cleaner though so I think I'm going to try that tomorrow and see how it compares.

Love the effect the stripper had. Very Spiderman.
To bad you could not keep it.

Re: SPEED SHOP BIKE

Evidently I had the "choke in a cloud of lemon freshness" oven cleaner and not the "melt your face off while your friends watch" oven cleaner :roll: Still toxic as all get out but barely put a curl in the old spray bomb job. Started cleaning up by hand until my boy convinced me to go get a slushy down the street. There are priorities involved here even I can't deny :D

Oven cleaner results ...
