How To Remove Powder Coating From Aluminum

A very common way to paint aluminum is with powder coating; it is sprayed onto the metal when it is very hot, where the powder melts and creates a secure bond that will last for many years. If you aren’t happy with a particular powder coating job or you would like to change the color, it can be quite simple to return your aluminium to its original state.

Step 1: Set up a work area outside or in a garage (or large room that can be ventilated by opening doors and windows). Hang the aluminum object up via hooks so that you can easily access it all the way round.

Step 2: For areas of the powder coat that you do not wish to remove, cover them with some paper bags. Make sure that you tape the bags down, along all the ledges, with masking tape to fully protect the area.

Step 3: Spray the sections of the aluminum that you want to remove the powder coat from with an industrial strength gasket remover. Leave the object to sit for 15 to 20 minutes; you should notice the coating start to bubble and peel.

Step 4: Use a dry rag to wipe over the aluminum and remove the peeling powder coat. If you notice remaining spots of the coating, give them a spray with the gasket remover and leave to sit again.

You should be able to pick up some gasket remover at an automotive store in your area; just make sure that you wear heavy, long-sleeved clothing, gloves, safety goggles and a respiratory mask when working with it.

You should also throw away the rags used to clean down the aluminum, as the remover is actually quite poisonous.

More about Sir Wilfred Grenfell -
Serving as a medical missionary member of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen sent Sir Wilfred Grenfell was sent to Newfoundland in 1892 to improve the plight of coastal inhabitants and fishermen. That mission began in earnest in 1893 when he recruited two nurses and two doctors for hospitals at Indian Harbour, Newfoundland and later opened cottage hospitals along the coast of Labrador. The mission expanded greatly from its initial mandate to one of developing schools, an orphanage, cooperatives, industrial work projects, and social work. Although originally founded to serve the local fishermen the mission developed to include the aboriginal peoples and settlers along the coasts of Labrador and the eastern side of the Great Northern Peninsula of northern Newfoundland. For his years of service on behalf of the people of these communities he was later knighted. He had two sons and a daughter. Grenfell died of a coronary thrombosis at Kinloch House on 9 October 1940, and his ashes were brought to St Anthony, where they were placed inside a rock face overlooking the harbour.
