  1. Okay, so I want to strip my 05 KH frame, but have a few questions.

    - Where do I get paint stripper? I've checked both Wal-Mart and
    Canadian Tire
    - What kind of safety protection should I wear (or if it is even
    required)
    - How far away I should spray it on (assuming I get it in a can)
    - And just like other things I haven't mentioned, also which is best
    paint stripper

    If someone could post pictures of there stripped frame, or the process,
    that would be great.

    Thanks.

    Isaac

    This stuff works well for taking off the KH paint. Ive tried strippers
    you can find in a common hardware store or home depot and have not had
    good results.
    This is the only stuff that has worked the way it is supposed to.

    *Read the directions on the can for how to use _properly_ and
    _safely_.* Don't take advice you get from someone on the internet for
    that.

  3. Oh, well I don't know if I want to actually order something online, what
    would you reccomend from Home Depot or like Rona or something?

    Like I said I have not found anything from hardware stores that works
    well. I have used the most heavy duty strippers they carry. It will
    work, it takes much much longer, its super messy, and does not come out
    nearly as well as 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/663avo) stuff.

    I am not sure why you would not want to purchase something online, you
    are getting a great item for a great price. Plus shipping is like mass
    transit, it is better for the environment.

    But go ahead and get some zip strip and a couple throw away brushes
    from your hardware store and have at it.

    I spent my precious time finding you a place in the US that carries
    this stuff and sells them single instead of having to buy a box, for
    nothing.

  5. Wear thick rubber gloves, and a mask, even if one isn't required. Avoid
    inhaling fumes, even if wearing a mask. Make sure all possible skin is
    covered. Paint stripper is NASTY stuff, that can and will burn your
    skin.

    Most important, as already mentioned, READ THE DIRECTIONS!

  6. What'd they tell you at Crappy Tire? Back when I was about 13 or so, we
    used to get this stuff in a can that you could just paint on. It was
    kind of goopy, we'd leave it on for a few minutes and it'd start
    stripping the paint off the frame of a bike. After a while we'd take
    an old rag and be able to pretty much wipe the frame clean before
    repainting it. Stuff worked marvelously. Very acidic and would burn
    the skin on contact. They sold it at Canadian Tire back then. Don't
    know about now, though. 🙂

    Why use a large word when a more diminutive one would suffice?
