[R-390] Removing MFP

Google found a specification for MFP at
http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/FEDMIL/t152b.pdf

It is dated 2006, but the text may have been written in 1961.

This 14 page document says MFP is a varnish, but doesn't say how
to remove it. Varnish remover comes to mind.

It doesn't say anything about the fungicide used, either, but gloves
are a really good idea.

Steel wool leaves bits of iron in aluminum that will rust if the
surface isn't protected. Boat stores (West Marine) sell bronze
wool that doesn't rust.

Hope this was useful.
