stripping help

dobywon · Feb 20, 2010

For all you striipers out there I need some advice.

I am trying to strip my BMe and the stuff I have isnt working well at all. I got superstrip from Lowes but it just not doing it.

What is the best stuff to use and where do I get it?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I used just straight Acetone on some scrapper 5s and it stripped them in a few
minutes. Didnt soften the Res-c handles. Just laid them in a brownie pan
pored enough Acetone in there to cover them. Let them soak.

Hey Doby, this stuff works like a dream. Give it a shot...

Some strippers and certain coatings take longer then others, I let mine sit for awhile and come back to it.

Doby, Acetone stripped then buffed with a Scotch Brite.. Did trim the handles back a bit.

What he said. This stuff is as easy and effective to use on your INFI as toilet paper is on your butt.

Some strippers are very temperature sensitive; be sure and check the label.

I've used acetone, and I really don't like to use it for stripping.
It evaporates very quickly.

Check this out, that is what I just came back from Wallyworld with and I just stripped my Ratweiler with it and it was sooooo easy but my BMe is still soaking and it doesnt look to to be doing good at all.

I dont know what the difference is but the BMe sure has a mean coating on it.

Has anyone tried graffiti remover? I bought something else instead of that, but the guy at the hardware store said it was pretty wicked stuff.

+1, particularly cold weather really slows it down to a crawl.

That's wild... I haven't ever stripped a Ergo. I wonder if the coating is different.

Oh, it's different for sure. Much different.

Butt, what if you got Clint Eastwood toilet paper?

You know, It's rough, it's tough, and don't @#$% off nobody!

you do have a valid point there.

Well, I had to end up taking a wire brush to it but I got it dun.

Thanks for the tips and the sound advice too.

I tried to strip a BME and ran into the same problem. Tougher coating for sure.
