    As a sidebar question, what have you all used to remove the coil juice?  My entire power head is covered.

    Steve, I first tried mineral spirits, acetone, and lacquer thinner……
    none did much, so I resorted to mechanical means.
    Scrappers, drill with wire brush, and Dremel with various brushes.
    I cleaned on it for two days before I was satisfied enough
    to paint the power head.
    Anything that I could unbolt from the power head went in the
    sandblaster…… much easier!

    P.S.- I just had a thought, and wondered why I didn’t try a hair dryer
    or propane torch to soften up the resin first.

    Prepare to be boarded!
