Laser rust and paint removal

Wow, I could use one of those right now for all the rust I am removing from the 542CF Tucker I am restoring. However, I don't think I can afford it, I still have to buy a full set of track rollers.

That is cool. You could make some of these old project cats completely disappear.

I have used the laser rust removal, I do like it, no parent metal loss and leaves a very clean surface to work with, much like media blasting, it only cleans what you can see, for complete inside and out, immersion rust/paint/stuff removal is my first choice

I've been using harbor freight aluminum oxide 70 grit blast media, works good on the very rusty cast and steel parts. Puts off shiny sparklies on the high heat treat parts :)

Yes for now, media blast whether soda,glass,oxide or black slag will have to
Do. It’s just more messy, maybe dry ice blasting :smile:

Slickest thing I've seen for paint removal was a machine using ground dry ice in high velocity air. Guy totally stripped a '63 full size chevy in 45 min, didn't have to worry about plastic, rubber or glass and when finished nothing but paint flakes on the ground.
