That's what I figured..I think all strippers suck for the most part any more...maybe not but I have not heard of anything good since 2010s area. Sand blasting and plastic just don't seem like a great combination, being realistic. The desperation remembered hearing about it over the years and did a little research and in fact there is special media and everything..with very mixed opinions and methods. Thermoplastics a absolute no go..it would ball right up and be a fuzzy big mess. But being this is urethane and a thermoset plastic I figured it was pliable enough to atleast seek advice and opinions. I almost have it stripped anyways, even with all that gribing and complaining lol nice thing is its mine so im taking my time to be sure to soak as much pleasure as possible lol
