What's up, 'Mud.
Got to work on the '60 since this whole COVID thing is keeping me from going into work... and started tearing out the headliner to get to mounting a C/B radio to the roof and address the x12 holes that some P/O had drilled into my roof for a 'safari' roof rack.
Here's what was left after the foam came down:
And here's a close up of one set of the holes:
Fortunately, my roof is relatively rust free. AND, I plan to Monstaline the truck's exterior when I'm done with this bit so I can afford to do some in depth (see; Welding) repairs and additions (see; Center Roof Console) to the sheetmetal and on the holes...
BUT, My concern is how to get this funky dried 1985 glue off my roof. It's CRUSTY, and hyper-dried out... and comes off as a dust when I chisel or grind it.
3M's Adhesive Remover (38984) hasn't much budged the stuff, neither did Xylene heavy Goo Gone, and I'm having better luck with the stripping wheel or a 120-grip flapper wheel... but, trying to avoid going full ham sandwich on grinding and then needing to repaint the whole roof too....
Further ideas?
Aircraft Stripper?
Jasco paint stripper?
...if I'm gonna strip it, I might as well do it with chemicals as opposed to doing it with a wheel.
