[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 499639, member: 24594"] interesting, sonny1. However, that's not been my experience at all. I've had nice success with the Citristrip on multiple boats. The protective oxidation comes back pretty quickly. I've used etching primers and oil-based enamels with hardeners on all of them. Both rattle can and gun applications. All still holding strong. I've also left two boats raw and polished with no problems. But on the other hand, I've had zero experience with wire wheels so I can't speak to that. I have seen conversations that have voiced concerns over the dissimilar metals left behind if the wrong brush is chosen, however. I definitely wouldn't recommend a sandblast, though. Unless you're just using generic terms. Way to much heat for these tinnies that are mostly .060-.095. But there are undoubtedly a lot of suitable media options out there. I just can't afford any of them. lol ...and I'm not entirely sure I would put in the labor of hand-stripping if you're going to media blast anyway? [/QUOTE]
