new panel stripping process in hertfordshire

Post by LONGSHOT »

friend of mine has a new type of panel stripping process if anyone wants to give him a call-Vernon-07880 743733
its a large heated tank of a new type chemical-will do aluminium as well
big enough to take at least a mustang hood(he has just done one)
I have seen the results and is very impressive.
price will vary on size of part but approx. £70 for a hood.
if it goes well he will be buying a big enough tank for a whole shell.
he is based in Harpenden.

cheers, Dave

not sure what chemical it is-I know it will not harm rubber components
so may be ok for plastics-best to ring
Vernon and have a chat-really helpful

I filled a wheelie bin with hot soapy water then dropped a airline hose in it came out perfect.

Also dish washer works well but you may need a special pass for that.

Also bath tub

I would not put any strong chemicals near it

Do you mean just literally hot soapy water - no chemicals etc?? That would be great if so, but can't help feeling I've misunderstood ????

I also spoke to him but he does not know what chemical it is.

I have been living in Germany and used lots of diffrent tank solution eg payed to have it done

I can understand him not say to save his business but he honestly did not know. From a 999 I just fell into a tank of Somthing I would want to know if I was him

I don't want to do it myself been there done that but would not be putting my parts in a unknown solution before I did my own research.

He did sound like a nice bloke and his prices where good

He said he would let you know what it is to pass on
