NO-E Make-Over

I agree. That's how it was when I stripped it. It came from the shop that way. Works for me.

that is unsanded? makes me want to strip my no-e as well.

The spine is unsanded, thus the cool looking grind marks. But I sanded the flats as described early on in the thread.

RBMCMJR.......Hi there. I was told this by the engineering dept at my employment "I'm an aircraft mech". The acidic paint stripper that we had been using for years on the fuselage's when used on high strength steel such as the landing gears struts was shown to cause hydrogen embrittlement. I'm only going by what I was told. I cant prove things one way or another but I know that my company is not the only one that follows these new directives.

Take care, Art

I have heard of acidic solutions causing hydrogen embrittlement. However, the paint strippers commonly available to consumers are either solvent based or caustic (lye) type, not acid.

Further, if there was a risk of this sort, no doubt Jerry would have warned us by now.

Man, this is some good stuff. Strippers 101. I like the sound of that.
