Update: Been pretty busy with work and family vacations but am back at it while fighting a mean case of carpal tunnel in both wrists.
Spent most of the weekend trying to rid the jeep of the insanely and erratically applied sealer. I swear the guy that applied it up in Toledo was drinking when he put it on my jeep.
I can not reiterate enough that DO NOT Remove this stuff unless you have to. Unfortunately for me, there was quite a bit of rust that I noticed after I got it back from the sandblaster.
Needless to say, I spent a lot of time experimenting the best way to remove that junk. Flame, chemicals, flap disk, wire brush etc. The verdict..... They all take time and require elbow grease.
For the record, a flame was easiest but created an indescribable mess afterward.
Also, I am in the process of refurbishing my wiring harnesses. Have them stripped, inspected, re-wrapped and am in the process of waterproofing-ish them.
Next step is to apply POR-15 to both sides of the floor. After that I will apply Durabak (bed liner) yellow to the wheel wells and engine bay.
