Hey everyone. Help2 I have several projects I plan on finally getting around to this summer. I have some questions:
I have several drums to remove point from. How do I best remove paint from a wrap versus a stripped drum (stripped and painted) versus a painted drum (a duco that was painted over--is it possible to preserve the duco beneath?). What about hardware? So...when is a stripping compound preferred (and what brands), and when is stripping by mechanical means better (and what type? wet-sanding? steel wool?)
Also, when removing round badge tacks, are they prone to snapping off, or do they bend readily and easily, at least a few times? Also, does anybody know what size of grommet is needed for a round badge for a bass drum? Also, how do you best remove satin flame wrap? (I've heard it and/or the glue is highly flammable, so heat guns are out of the question...)
Sheesh! Lots of questions. Thanks for any and all knowledge from personal experience you're willing to impart. Oh, and of course I'll start some restoration threads as I get started. :)
