Re: [VACList] Re: VACList Digest V3 #16



Hi, Buddy ...

Sorry to be slow responding  -- I was away all weekend. I have had two
different experiences using the Napier Stripper. The first time I sprayed it
on my Tradewind the overspray did not affect the replacement plastic
windows, the running lights, the tires, etc. The next time I sprayed some
stripper I wasn't as careful and got more overspray and I did get some
cloudy spots on my plastic windows. That may have been because I left it on
longer. My recommendation is to protect any plastic parts and any painted
areas. I even slipped plastic garbage bags over my wheels and tires.

I think it's a good product and a lot easier (and safer) to use than the
harsh strippers. I use eye protection when spraying and wear rubber gloves
even though the gloves may not be necessary. Otherwise, it's just work
clothes. Applying with a roller or a brush would prevent overspray and could
eliminate the need to mask plastic parts if applied carefully. It's your
call.
