Re: Stripping Body Panels to Bare Metal

Make sure you follow the directions if you go the chemical stripper route. I used aircraft stripper when restoring my 69 Cougar. The chemicals in it go right through any glove you buy and into your skin. Once it is on your skin it goes into your blood stream and collects in you liver and can cause liver damage. I had a routine blood test done at work when I was toward the end of my stripping. One of my liver functions was off the charts. The blood test company called the nurse at my job and told her to tell me to get to the doctor right away! Keep the stuff off your hands and gloves. I'm told the vapors are harmful too.
