Re: undercoating removal

[neal zimmerman <neal.zimmerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

theres the electric heat gun method, never had warpage problems, but
its slow and overhead is really bad because the crumbs fall into the
gun and eventually burn it out.  they are pretty cheap though, about
35 dollars, and u could easily get a whole car done with one before it
burns out.  HINT , dont buy the harbor freight heat gun, fails after
about 4 hours, buy a wagner
