POR15 removal

Has any one in the Pelican brain trust removed POR15 from metal? If so what did you use/do?

mechanically, wire brush grinder takes it off easily. Chemically, does aircraft stripper work? If not, powder coating stripper would definitely work.

Years ago I use a paint on stripper (citrus I think), that did a really good job.

Read a few threads on other forums with mixed info. Seems aircraft stripper may work. So I'll give it a try.

Painted my oil tank with the stuff, I don't like. So need to remove it.

Is painting over the POR 15 an option for you ? Seems it would make a good " primer " for a top coat and help protect the tank from external rust . And this would save you the time to strip it off .

This is an excellent suggestion. I think there's something in the POR literature that refers to using it as a primer. Been a while since I read it.

I will look into painting over it. I was under the impression once cured it was very diffiecult to get anything to stick so didn't even consider as an option. Extremely hard so hard to sand to get any tooth. But if I can far less work and an extra layer of protection. I will try before I use the aircraft stripper.

rfuerst911sc, how is the boat? Haven't seen ay posts lately.

You can scuff it with sandpaper and paint over it. Good option.

I think you scuff, then add the POR-15 top sealer that allows painting over.

just from memory.

I heard brushing rustoleum satin black over POR15 as soon as it starts going off (drying)

What is the drying time for POR15 say 70 degrees indoor for floor pans ?

Is this method good ? Satin Black ?

So I read the can. Clear states it can be top coated. After cure sand to 320. It gums up 320 pretty quickly, so I started at 120 and will work up. It's some hard *****. It's going to take a while.

Good call rfuerst911sc.

My mom always used to get so mad at me because I would never read the directions. It's amazing what you learn if you read the directions.
