[Towertalk] Stripping paint from Rohn 45

[Jerry Keller]

By the way, Maury, on that same website  ...
http://www.stripmasterspor15.com/blast.htm ... there's a reference to
"POR15" paint.  Great stuff. Comes in silver (or aluminum) as well as clear
(primer) and black.  It adheres like CRAZY, even to rusted surfaces. Paint
Over Rust...P-O-R 15.....:-)  You'll see what I mean if you get any on your
hands... after it dries it's virtually impossible to remove.  Cyanacrylate
chemistry, I think, like super-glue.  I use it on antique cars, but I
haven't yet tried it on a tower.  Might be worth looking into.
Good luck.... Jerry K3BZ

Sure ... contact the manager of a local airport and ask where the owners
gettheir planes blasted. Or look in the yellow pages under paint removal
andsandblasting.... what you're looking for is a place that can blast
using"plastic media" for paint removel. Also check

There is also a plastic abrasive which is used to remove paint quickly
fromaluminum aircraft panels without damaging the metal surface. Perhaps
thatwould work equally well for galvanized towers. Jerry K3BZ-----Original
