Not exactly sure what to tell you. The issue that we are seeing is that it softens it but does not dissolve it. We get tanks in that still have chunks, and many times they tried to coat over the top of it which really made a mess.


I want to chase another rabbit here a tad. I am curious what this new phenomenon of Artificial Intelligence is going to get its information on Model-A restoration. I am going to start another post and we will comment on it there.
