So familiar territory. I needed to strip all the paint from the inside of the new pod before I could do the small repairs that are needed and having done it previously with MYRO’s pod, I knew it would be messy and not very nice. So best just to get stuck in and do it \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n

I used the same solvent-based paint stripper as before, let it sit for a while and then just attacked it with a largish diameter circular wire brush in the electric drill. Previously I did it manually but this time it was much quicker and it turned out pretty good! Take a look at the pics below.<\/p>\n

I got covered with a light spray of thick, damp grey paint stripper (grey from the paint it contained) but it was worth it I think. The inside is easily clean enough now to take the epoxy I will use for the repairs, as I did previously with MYRO, without any fear of it not sticking. The small repairs done previously by someone else are also now exposed. They aren’t as pretty as the ones I did on MYRO’s pod but now I can see them, I can clean them up a bit and improve them. In the end, once I’ve finished and the pod has been repainted inside (and out!) you’ll never know that they are there \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I’ve just finished a quick lunch, so I think I’ll leave the pod for now and crack on and make a start on the forks. Been there before too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
