I uses a most powerful steam cleaner at work. Buh-bye limp, flaking,
nasty sound deadening crap.

Then I used EasyOff Oven cleaner to finish the job. Works great!

Me have many, share only few.

#1 is when I was in the Army in Germany. We had this new guy. He was told
to go out and clean the main rotors and the tail rotors of one of our
AH-1F Cobra's. He takes a can of MEK (Methol Ethol Keytone. Dont know
what it means, I do know its wicked shit.) and wipes the tail rotor down
until its shinny aluminum again! Completely stripped the paint off if it.
So much for radar absorbing paint. He was high as a kite. Next time I saw
him he was in charge of the NBC (Nuclear/biological/chemical) room
meaning, he stuffed gas masks. No longer affiliated with aircraft. LOL!

#2 is when I was about 18 or so. My Bro-in-law had this 58 chevy truck
that we dropped in a chevy 350 + 350 trans and a new posi rear end.
Anyhoo, I bought a big new can of carb cleaner dip. Didn't think anything
about sticking my hands into the thing to retrieve all of my bolts and
parts. 30 seconds later both hands were numb. Scared the crap out of me.
LOL!!

OK, your turn!
