Stripping

[Mr. Billy]

Not suppose to put Walbernize on cleaned metal, at least not one of them, because it makes the aluminum turn black. There may be a form of Walbernize that can be used, but I have been told only use Carnuba wax on cleaned aluminum by a dealer.

There are several types of Walbernize so check it out first.

We use aircraft stripper when we refinish the metal wings on our gliders. It is surely nasty stuff, but it does the job. You will have to leave it on a variable length of time depending on the temperature. You will also have to go back and retreat some tough spots.

Be prepared for a hell of a mess and wear gloves and eye protection. I wear a pair of gloves made specifically for handling corrosive chemicals. They are a bit clumsy because they are thick, but I'm sure my hands are protected. They have high cuffs, like welding gloves, and that helps a lot.

You better get up early if you want to witness the stripper in action because we will be hosing it down early. ( I hope)

Bon journo!
