don't you be pushing me down that road... OMG the chemicals we used to use in five gallon buckets just sprayed all over everything with no respirators, gloves, nothing... and we did it in the open and just let it soak into the tarmac or wash down the storm drains and all of it considered 'just fine'...

LOL kind of saw it coming, all things considered, but got a real good laugh. really does make one wonder about where the current generation puts their brains.... and one really have to wonder what is in the stripping compounds these days.. some of the stuff that they are using for paint these days, you have to worry what will dissolve first, the paint, or the aluminum.

and that is a fact... supposedly the stripper is safer to use now. I know Skydrol has changed over the years. I remember taking my first bath in the stuff and it was rather traumatic pain wise, though there were no damaging effects. These days it doesn't even carry the pungent odor like it used to.
like you, I actually worry about the direction the younger generation is going in - but then again I think each generation feels the same way.

An observation on paint strippers...never played with the aircraft stuff, the paint on my various trucks was bad enough. Worst job was helping my former employer strip the frame of one of his Peterbilts. Strip of what was left of the paint, then grind, wire brush, and finally we had the sandblast the bloody thing. Got down tho the metal finally, the reprime and paint with a good layer of Imron. Looked good when we were done but , hopefully, will last more than a couple of years. Salt and general road crud is murder on the running gear. The initial problem is that , from my experience, Peterbilt seems to not know how to pain steel. The cabs, which are mostly aluminum, paint holds up quite well, it is the steel frames which seem to start to rust about three days after the truck is in service. Dissimilar metal galvanic action problems aside, the steel seems to just start out rusting. Not a good thing on a brand which prides itself on the quality of their product. WCJ

no steel in an aircraft but they do get corrosion... the old B737-200 was the Vega of the air. Way back at Carnival Airlines we actually changed out the whole lower quarter panel by the aft baggage.
The stripper smells a lot like Elmer's glue but do not get it on bare skin. It pretty well takes care of the paint all the way down to the metal.

Going to be honest, I cracked up at the ending, pulled the rug out from under those lads.
There was maybe one typo in the whole thing("And fro the looks of it; this is where they keep their private jet.) Other than that, its quite solid, especially in terms of pacing.
