Working on son's Mercury; its "remove the old undercoating and see what's really there" time; I've read about using mineral spirits, oven cleaner, kerosene, heat... you name it, someone makes a point of saying its the best thing since sliced bread, so I'm coming to my most trusted source...

give it to me straight, I can take it... is it just plain old elbow grease, a scraping tool and the next month or so on our backs chiseling away at it??

open to all suggestions!

thanks,Mark
