Now that the weather’s a bit warmer and my schedule has started to calm down I thought I’d start to work on the chair.
The bolts holding the hanging bar to the seat are painted pretty tight, as are the bolds securing the restraint bar to the seat, so plan for now is see how far a chemical paint stripper can take me. I’m trying citristrip and will leave it on for the full 24 hrs. By my count there are at least 6 coats of paint on these things. I’ve tested a few times for lead and haven’t found any yet but am still a bit afraid to strip with a disk and have airborn paint dust.
