Man thank you so much for this video! i have been looking for something like this for a while.
Glad to help, always trying to put out more powder related content, be sure to subscribe if you havent already!
Very helpful and informative! 😊
great detail to help the new guy out thank you!!!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for this video. I was actually considering this stripper. I’m a garage coater but since the shop in my town is moving to another city, I am getting way more business and needed a good stripper.
You wont be disappointed!
Awesome video, we ordered it after seeing this. Question about settings if you dont mind. What KV and microamp do you usually run? I know it varies and im seeing a lot of different numbers, some saying leave KV alone and only adjust amps some say adjust both. trying to figure out whats a good place to usually be. Will be doing only automotive parts, springs, wheels, etc
Have you thought about getting your Iron Rainbow certification? It would be great to see you on their portal! Great stripping setup btw, I enjoyed the balanced view, thank you!
I would also like to know how long a drum is lasting you. How’s the evaporation, if any!
Thanks!
Thank you for your videos friend, I am a beginner and your channel has been very helpful to me, I use methylene chloride, can I heat it for better effects?
Looking for my next set up. What would be better than a 55 gallon drum? Did they have heat wrap for 85 gallon? Or would you recommend something else than drum?
This is more about the planter and furniture you were coating at the end. Do you have any guarantee to your customers on it not rusting? We have an issue with holes in welds that water will get into and drip rust down it overtime in the customers possession. We tell the customers before hand, but do you have a way to prevent it?
How often are you repurchasing the 55 gallon drum?
Appreciate your videos!
By chance do you know if they will deliver to home addresses, and/or do you know how long from order placed to delivery?
Hey man, can you clarify something? I've got a small shop, and was going to go with a full Methylene Chloride based setup but the size of my shop concerns me.
You said it's safe for Magnesium parts, but the PowderStrip website specifically says "It is not for use on Magnesium", any ideas there? I've got Ducati stuff which is Magnesium that'll need to be coated occasionally and I'd like to have the ability to do it.
Thanks!
Great video, i use the chloride one its harsh. Looking fwd to getting this one since i do this from home lil side hobby.
But question, how do you get rid of the water to rinse and eventually the ecostrip solution?
That will vary on your location, some places the water itself can go down the drain. Check with your local gov to verify
Can you tell us the details of your new chemical stripper setup
Thanks for that vid! What do u do with the cleaning Water?
there are different options and it varies based on your local regulations.
i didnt realize you worked with Jeff and heather. Do they still own forever powder coating?
Also, where can I get that wrench to open the barrel?
I heard with some chemicals you need to sand blast after is that true
How do you dispose of the contaminated water from the rinse tank?
How long did it take to heat to the 150 degrees?
Hi Do you know if this stripper is available in the UK.
B17 doesn't really take adhesives off like youd assume it does either. I work at a high volume wheel shop and sometimes our stick on job labels survive the benco dip
RIm Strip (B17s competition) seems to take it off, but does occasionally leave it I guess.
Probably also depends on how spent the solution is.
Absolutely
@@UnknownCoatings Yeah I noticed that B17 struggled with stickers as well. Once I switched to Rim Strip that seems to remove adhesives better.
How long does it take to get to temp? Do you leave it heated all the time?
This is a good question, I just pulled the trigger on an Electron system and now I'm pretty sure I need to get a stripping setup. This question is on point for me as well.
Hey i have a question. On powder coating. I bet u can help me with. I did some rims recently. And the powder chips easily. This is the only time this has happen. And im usuing prismatic
does it chip to the next layer or powder or down to the metal? I would need more info to be able to help
@@UnknownCoatings to the metal. I was using Laser bronze on aluminum rims.
do you have to use a stripper will sand blasting the paint off work as well?
Stripped should remove paint/powder and sandblast if u are going to powder coat after
what type of limitations as far as wheel size? 20"s or larger?
on the barrel? a 20 is probably it honestly.
Awesome video, but now I’m second guessing my choice of stripper after seeing your pics lol , as a newbie who just ordered rim strip as first stripper , can I request like a 101 dos and donts for stripper and tips and tricks to be safer with stripper and how to expose of it after you wash the part in wash bin etc. thanks appreciate all your helpful videos.
Rim Strip is great, but ultimately has some negatives obviously. Ill see what I Can do for stripper video like you are looking for
I wonder how this stuff compares to Stripoxy 6842? Also how do you mask parts for sand blasting?
Im also curious. I currently use stripoxy.
I dont know, perhaps I can get some and do a test along with some other strippers. DOes it require heat?
I usually put normal blue masking tape down, then some sort of heavy ductape over that.
a test is a must!
Im about to order some stripoxy since i am a diy guy
@@UnknownCoatingsit does have to be heated.
How long will this last compared to b17 or Rimstrip? Seeing it costs almost twice as much.
where can we find 85 gallon drum heaters or can we use the 55 gallon drum heater???
Places like Uline have em. I assume others as well
How many sets of rims can a 55gallon drum of eco strip do, i know the benco and rim strip generally do 100-110 rims. but the eco strip is twice as expensive...
Current guestimates are 300+
300 sets or 300 wheels?
Would wet blasting strip powder coat mate, love your videos
Im sure it would, but would be time consuming! and I appreciate the kind words!
@@UnknownCoatings thank you replying
Of course. Always happy to help!
Hey man. I do wet blasting and powder coating. Wet blasting will strip it but it is considerably more time-consuming! Especially on something like an intricate wheel with a lot of edges and corners. It's effective but way more work and at a cost that is higher than stripper
@@gimpy454 thanks mate really appreciate you comment ,hope your business is doing well
What about the slug at the bottom? Does that effect how long the stripper will last?
Yes I know that last line sounds bad. 😂
Yes. It's recommended to remove the sludge often. I have a video I'm working on showing how to do this effectively!
what is the maximum size rim that will fit in a 55 gallon drum....
20" are good. 21" goes in with some struggle
yeah 21s work but its a tight fit. 20s are easy enough.
Hi...how many time to heat at 175 deg
takes about 60 minutes each morning
Ecostrip is a great stripper and it's eco friendly! Works best in a heated tank with a pump to move it around.
yeah the new setup will have a pump to push it around!
Keep your eco friendly shit I'm California. Source I live in California.
@@UnknownCoatings Do you need a special kind of pump for the chemical or will any type of water pump tolerate the eco strip? I know a lot of pumps have plastic or rubber vanes/diaphrams.
Eco Strip is specially designed to remove Powder Coating from ferrous and non-ferrous metals and silicon at heated temperatures without the dangers of harmful acids. This product is readily biodegradable. It is NOT for use on Magnesium, from powder strip web page
It's wrong. Tested two types of magnesium. They will be adjusting their webpage :)
It says on their site that it is *not for use with magnesium.
I do see that listed. I tested two types of magnesium alloy I had on hand and neither had a negative reaction. I'll powder coat both pieces and try again.
@UnknownCoatings looking forward to what you find out. 🤙🏼
You probably won't run into much magnesium it's pretty pricey for non high perfomance parts.
@@davidbartch8917 I run into it all the time.
Evo valve covers. Ive stripped them in regular strip to test it, twice and tbh it didnt affect them. So ive done couple. But i be checking every couple mins i try to get them out as soon as possible
do you need a business license to buy this
Best I understand, the eco friendly stuff typically does not require a license.
It says it has KOH in it (potassium hydroxide), which is very corrosive to aluminum, magnesium, and other metals. Good for steel or iron though. I would think you should be careful with this affecting your parts. You mentioned wood - I would not recommend that! Plastic should be okay though. If you need to, perhaps do some testing and only use it for as long as necessary.
The rest of the product is NMP and ethanolamine (causing the ammonia smell you mentioned).
Most definitely use a respirator and other proper equipment, you do not want to breathe these chemicals (look it up if you don't believe me).
Finally, I'm not knocking the product, but just trying to inform those interested. I appreciate being able to purchase a powerful and effective stripper like this. Just want people to realize this isn't at all a product that is eco/bio friendly, even if it is better than methylene chloride.
EDIT - glad to see that it doesn't appear to be affecting the finishes as you mentioned, which is great to hear. Perhaps the concentration is just low enough and exposure time short enough to not to cause major issues on aluminum. I do appreciate you testing products like this and sharing!
First
are you famous?
I am now
$1,364.00 for 30 gal supply
Not cheap. But lasts 10x longer than rim strip easily
