I use media blast, if you pay the postage i'll blast it for free, let me know.

unless you use plastic media
I wouldn't use blasting cuz that means extra work
when polishing I always try to start with the smoothest surface possible

you can strip it down with AIRCRAFT paint remover and a hard toothbrush
wear gloves this thing is stings on your skin

Never had extra work using glass bead.

also where do u get the sircraft paint removal so i might can find it local?

glass bead hit with a sisal and emery to even it out and then hit it with white on losse ..... i do all mine that way and never had any problems

wait.. so you're hitting it with glass bead then just polishing it? Are you doing anymore sanding? Is this glass bead media you're hitting it with wet blasted or dry?

I hit the last ones i did with glass bead lightly sanded the tore up a sisal. the thumb thottle should take you no more than 20-45 minutes to complete
