[DML] Re: epoxy damage from brake fluid

["David Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

Have you every really tried this? I tried to sandblast mine and it 
would barely dent the sound epoxy. It would of course remove the 
loose stuff, but so will a paint scraper. The sand just bounced off 
the epoxy that was solid. It would eventually (measured in minutes 
per square centimeter) work its way thru, but I could not imagine 
stripping a whole frame this way. The only way (and I tried a LOT) to 
get otherwise sound epoxy off the frame fast was a propane torch. And 
of course this has other issues and is not necessarily recommended. 

This is only necessary if you are doing a complete restoration, there 
is no reason to remove good epoxy otherwise. Just scrape back to the 
good parts and repaint with POR15.
