: Bob,
:The place I go to is a Redi- Strip but what I have seen of the operation it looks like big chemical vats, don't know if it's electro-chemical cause of the fumes, I'm in and out in a hurry. They have said there are a number of factors that effect how the stripping works and recommend coming at certain times to get a good job....But now that get me to thinking who's being yanked? Maybe the quality of work varies with each house and who's working that day? I'm with Dave on this one, my next job will be taken to a blaster. I've been reading and hearing about plastic bead media which is supposed pretty good but I would like to see it first hand. But with blasting some loose stuff may come out while painting which is not all bad because you can deal with it right away rather than somethong to come back and haunt you. Already know about industrial sand baster,
: not the way to go!
: GW
: : This is a question for Glenn and Dave. Were these places using an acid dip or electro-chemical (Redi-Strip)? I was thinking of having mine Redi-stripped because the magazines all gave it rave reviews. That doesn't necessarily mean its true. If it was Redi-Strip you were talking about you have saved me a bundle.

: : Thank you.

Joe, I had the same problem. Rust in the doors of my early 1930 AA, same doors as the 1929 A. I solved this problem by sand blasting the doors, inside and out, taking care not to blast through the metal, or warp it. I then blew out the doors with high pressure air. All of the openings were then taped of with masking tape. Now comes the contriversial part. Get a quart of "POR15", advertised in Hemmings Motor News, and pour half of it into each door. This is a moisture cured urathane, and will stick to the bare metal, and any rust that you may have missed. Slosh it around to coat the entire door interier, including the window tracks. This will shield the metal from future rust. Pour the remaining solution out of the doors and remove the masking tape, this will leave your doors totaly sealed inside, and they will not rust anymore. Of course,like Denise Miller says "That's one mans opinion, I could be wrong".
