My name is Charlie, and I'm an aluminum addict (and fiberglass-phobe).

I'm currently fighting with FG 'finishing', & after struggling with a course file, and almost ruining an intersection fairing by trying to dress a joint on my 1" belt sander, I looked in my grinder drawer for other solutions. Found this old paint removal disc, made to chuck in a drill. I found that using it in a cordless drill kept it from being too aggressive, and made it relatively easy to control. Thought I'd pass along the tip to others like me.

Don't ask where I got it; it's been lurking in that drawer for probably 20 years. Should be able to find something similar on the usual sites.
