Removing powder coat?

[philgunn]

Hi all this is my 1st post from Cork Ireland
My question concerns the home, removal of powder coat, I have tried gasket remover with limited success and would like to know what you Goya do?
Thanks pg

just like removing rust/paint just takes a little longer in the sandblast cabinet

I've had success with paint strippers and leaving to soak.
But it is good stripper, there are ZERO enviromental rules here.

Paint stripper or baking it off. I have used paint stripper. I do not powder coat anymore, just paint

What part are you removing powder coat from? I was thinking grinding wheel, abrasive flap disc or the like. But that's why I asked about the part.

I do this on the side you can beadblast it off or they make a liquid that you can soak the part in for a few hours. Then take a stiff bristled brush to it removes it very easily just like a paint stripper would just a little better as asked before what part are you tryin to strip.

Find a powder coating business around you that uses B17 as their stripper and pay them to dunk it in their tank. It'll take 5 minutes to strip it down to bare metal.

Methylene Chloride is what you want. It's found in a lot of paint strippers. I used Zip Strip to remove the powder coating off a set of wheels. Just coat it with the zip strip, wait 15 minutes, hit it with a fine brass brush on a grinder or drill and it comes right off. Neutralizes with water, will burn the hell out of your skin. Do NOT get it on you, and don't let it dry.

Oh just checked, on my shelf I have some Jasco Paint & Epoxy remover. It's a gel consistency. Used it to remove powdercoat on some larger areas. Brush it on, let it sit a few, scrap the bubbled stuff off. It's kinda messy and you WILL need chem gloves and running water. Don't get this on you or it'll make your skin feel like its on fire.

I have used a good paint stipper with great success. Plenty of what we Aussies call Elbow grease is also handy.

I'm trying to remember if I've used this on powder coat, but in my limited experience this is about as nasty (read: works well) stuff you can buy before stepping up to industrial chemicals:

Our local blaster has a Coating shop bake the item at a higher temp(600), says the PC comes off very easy. He mainly does this for large items.

Heat stripping works great. Part goes to bare metal. Zero effort, needs an oven.
But is limited by the size and design of the part you ned to strip.
Be careful with sheet metal, likely to buckle and be deformed.
For partial stripping, heat stripping is unusable.

for those using the heat method... what do you do just heat it up and use a scrapper? what temp and for how long?

prostrip.com is the guy I use,proprietary process, he don't tell nobody how hot, nor how long.

Everything flakes off into dust that they sweep out of the furnace.

I'll be taking him a 110" wheelbase truck frame hopefully next week. The stuff comes out looking new-except for where the rust holes were.
