[VAC] Ammonia does work, a little

["Karl F. Larsen" <k5di@xxxxxxxxxx>]

	Today I went out to my 76 and with the Whisk Ammonia from the 
market I worked over a new area near the left rear and it got some, but 
not all of the clearcoat off. 

	I went around to the door. It has most of the clearcoat removed by 
the sun on the top half, and the bottom half is still pretty good. I was 
able to remove ALL the clearcoat from the top half. The bottom half it got 
a lot off but didn't get under the entire coating. I will need to try the 
regular toxic paint remover on the bottom half.

	Will report on this test door tomorrow after the whole clearcoat 
removal is done. 

	I have decided the only way to do clearcoat removal in the desert 
is to do it in the very early morning at first light. We just went on 
Daylight Saving time so first light happens about 6:15 AM now. I will get 
out there with a cup of coffee and my rubber gloves and a 5 gallon pail of 
water. Hope to get a lot done and will report to the list how it goes.
