I have not done an vintage flyreel yet but have been doing some old vintage spinnig reels. I, from my perspective don't know (if you can get the old finish off) what paint, finish etc., etc, you would put back on the reel that would look good and stay...?.... I haven't done one of my old fly reels yet that is made of 'no telling' what type of alloys it is but I will beed blast and polish or beed blast and have a local buisness... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Raybow) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/70576 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:49:28 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/70508/t/Stripping-finish-off-an-old-reel.html#reply-70508 feeds@yuku.com (borumas) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/70508 Sun, 31 May 2009 16:34:06 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/70417/t/Stripping-finish-off-an-old-reel.html#reply-70417 borumas
Glad to hear that the Citrus Strip worked for you. So far, it's never let me down.
You might want to think about shooting a coat or two of clear over the "Hammered Black" finish to help protect the paint. For me, the reels I've done that on seem to hold up better than just the straight paint. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (evanslmtd) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/70417 Sat, 30 May 2009 06:50:39 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/70097/t/Stripping-finish-off-an-old-reel.html#reply-70097 feeds@yuku.com (borumas) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/70097 Mon, 25 May 2009 14:12:43 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/69789/t/Stripping-finish-off-an-old-reel.html#reply-69789
Occassionally, a better paint system needs to be stripped with a methylene chloride based stripper, which is more toxic. While, MC strippers are faster than Citristrip, the toxicity is a concern for me.

I've used citristrip, abundant water and a good stiff brush to get the finish off some spools in the past. Might take more than one application so leave it on for a few hours at least, rinse and brush, repeat if necessary. If for some reason you can't get to it to clean up, just drop it in the water to neutralize things. I'd imagine any good... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mdwwhw) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/69765 Tue, 19 May 2009 17:15:12 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/9167/t/Stripping-finish-off-an-old-reel.html ]]> feeds@yuku.com (borumas) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/9167 Tue, 19 May 2009 16:46:55 GMT
