Rubberized Undercoat Removal

What is the best way to strip Rubberized Undercoat off a frame? I tried to use some heavy duty aircraft stripper but, it is wicked messy. Would sandblasting work?

Let some paint thinner soak on it, that will loosen it up. Probably gas will peel it off.

Heat gun & scrapers.
When you get most off you can clean it up with solvent (gas explodes!) or sand blasting.

Kerosene - thats the magic stuff, leave it soak and melt that stuff right off !!! Diesel fuel should work to but smells a little worse.

Re: Rubberized Undercoat Removal

I scraped what I could off with a putty knife then scrubbed the rest off with a ScotchBrite pad frequently dipped in a bucket of mineral spirits. Wear gloves

Jeebus Bob, youre a glutton for punishment! My thought process was forget the scrubbing, just get a bag and a half of sand and go to town. In all fairness it did take me almost 40 minutes to do 2 inner fenders but I had some tunes via the mp3 player and it was a NICE day outside.
