[R-390] panel cleaning

[Dave or Debbie Metz]

Just a wonder here. A long time ago, I used a dunk tank of sodium hydroxide 
to soak fenders from a car. Put it in  a tank for a couple of days and wash 
off the paint.  Can you still buy sodium hydroxide as a dry pellets? My 
guess is that it has gone the way of carbon tetrachloride. Too dangerous 
for idiots. As a strong base solution, it didn't etch the bottom metal but 
sure got rid of the paint. Thanks
