Good day everyone, I am almost finished with the sandblasting of the BT7 chassis. I am almost to the point I will need to prime it, the only issue I am having is trying to remove the seam sealer from the floor pans. The sandblaster isn't removing it and scraping it is about as useful as using my scraper on the concrete. Are there any recommended products to remove this stuff, if no products then what technique did you use when removing it. I tried a few of the paint/adhesive removers with no luck.

Thanks!

I recently bought a Dynazip tool made especially for seam sealer removal. It has cut my prep time dramatically when doing my upgrade on BMW M Coupe/Rdstr trunkfloor/differential mounts.

Man, that is one wicked weapon. Looks like an excellent seam sealer remover too!

has anyone used the wire part of that tool on a 4 inch electric grinder ?

I have one of those sold by snap on but its air powered , which I do not have at home....

it would be nice to spend 10-15 minutes at a time stripping the wheelwells and not trying to do it all at once.....

OHHH and the wire wheel part is directional, as you can see the wire has a "hook" and the end to dig into the undercoating.....

The hub of that tool doesn't lend itself to mount on a 4" grinder. I don't have any pictures of the hub assembly removed, so you'll have to trust me on that.

Wow Randy, very nice tool, I was just doing some reading up on it. I was tempted to order one last night I just don't think I can justify dropping the coin on it, I don't know if I will do more restorations in the future to make the tool worth-my-while.

If I get to aggravated enough I will just order it up but for right now I am just going to continue using some elbow grease.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Here's a similar tool; much cheaper, but wouldn't work for me without the right-angle head. http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/DFX-DF701.html

I order from The Tool Warehouse all the time (I buy latex gloves by the case 2-3 times a year), so I can vouch for their dependability.

Beaulieu: note the contsruction of the wire-wheel. The hub is two (2) halves that mate together and fit over a hex-shaped shank, secured by an Allen capscrew. Hub can be seen in this shot: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/DYN-18257.html
