Well, another application and this time using a wooden spoon, cut as I mentioned to make one concave side; much more scraped off this time! Still not right, so...

Best, Ben
Wood is NOT good, in one way. Looking at the can of stripper, it took the spray-bombed paint job off my old Gitane two years ago, no problem -- but I looked at the can and it's Klean Strip brand and intended to remove paint from
wood (well OK, I do want to refinish the bedroom furniture I inherited from my grandmother). So, I checked online and there's an Auto Zone perhaps 1/2-mile away (ironically next door to the dollar store where I just bought the wooden implements
) and, according to the website, in stock! So, another walk, and I got a can (only had it in gallons for $52.99) and I just put a coat on. Lesson of the day: RTFL (
read the flippin' label).
What I am starting to believe, between the paint stripping, degreasing parts and polishing, that I need a
metric ton of rags.
