Undercoating removal options.

[CompSyn]

Going to be tackling the job of undercoat removal sometime soon. I see a lot of options and tricks for this. What do you guys find that works best for you? Thanks!

Propane torch with flame spreader and a putty knife is my weapon of choice.

Same here and you can control the mess. I had mine media blasted after I scraped it, the blaster suggested it to save on money and to keep his media clean. That said about 3 hrs with a commercial steam cleaner will get it done.

Thanks! About how many bottles of propane does it take to do the job?

Depends on how much undercoating there is...

Probably two bottles will do most, if not all.

Mine was very heavy and I think it took two

While some of mine needed extra work and heat, much of it was brittle and came off easily with a needle scaler.
