The eco-friendly paint stripper that I&#8217;m using turned out to be a a white gel that looks a lot like wallpaper paste. I put the pod on my lawn and set to brushing the stripper onto the areas I want to clear and after leaving it for half an hour or so &#8211; ie not that long &#8211; gave it a go with a paint scraper. I was actually quite surprised to find that a great deal of the paint had been attacked and was coming off so then I gave it a go with a piece of wire wool. <\/p>\n<p>Then I moved the pod to where I could give it a wash off and hose down and was pleased to see that in the area of lawn where I&#8217;d done the job, a quick hosing removed all traces of the stripper and paint. The following pictures show how well the stripper worked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod8_s.jpg\" alt=\"null\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod9_s.jpg\" alt=\"null\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod10_s.jpg\" alt=\"null\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/micro-trike.co.uk\/images\/pod11_s.jpg\" alt=\"null\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They show that the method does work quite well. Obviously I&#8217;ll need to apply another application and although I have to be very careful about adding weight, I&#8217;ll probably expand and join up some of the areas. It&#8217;s not late as I type this so I&#8217;ll maybe have a quick bite and then give it another go.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to keep things moving along even if I can only do a little bit every day so today I wanted to make a start on stripping areas of paint off the inside of the pod where I want to do repairs and add a bit of strengthening.
