[DML] Re: Removing Epoxy from the frame - need insight.

[Paul Gress <pgress@xxxx>]

I had this problem when I wanted to dip my frame in hot zinc. For me
there were three options:

1) The company that dips parts (bridge) into melted zinc can do so with
the epoxy on, the epoxy will burn off. They were not allowed to do this
any more in my State (NY).
2) Dipping into paint remover (furniture refinishers and industrial
painting).
3) Furniture stripper to use Volcanic Ash to blast the Epoxy off the
frame.

The third method was the method I used.
