Re: Stripping off old paint
Guys, I don't want to scare anyone, but "Aircraft Remover" and other solvents are EXTREMELY toxic. I'd advise anyone to look up the Manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet on aircraft remover or any other stripper you might be planning to use and ask yourself if it's worth the risk, or at least be sure you take every precaution including a respirator AND gloves.
I'm facing some fairly serious health challenges (I'm 43) now after a lifetime of solvent and paint use (not abuse) in my hobbies starting with model glue when I was about 5. Toluene is another under-rated toxin found in a lot of this stuff. Just because you can buy this stuff off the shelf at Wal-Mart doesn't mean it's safe to use casually, and nerve and brain cells don't grow back.
