[QUOTE="peterg, post: 13161, member: 446"] Howdy sir, [URL="http://www.jtan.com/"]JTAN[/URL] is an internet tool provider, and like Yahoo Groups has a list server offering for which there is a Vincent oriented one setup by Doug Wood. I would not claim a cabinet to be better, just by design very consistent/comprehensive in providing the results, ie, all things being equal (solution, temp settings) it's no different than your kitchen dishwasher. Put your stuff in, close the door, hit start and go about your business. As someone who's expended endless hours laboriously hand stripping pieces - I recollect about 65 + - painted pieces on the Red Rap - and glad to endure the misery therein rather than drop them off at a commercial outfit to be sandblasted by an indifferent employee. As mentioned earlier, I do this to establish a pure baseline for assessing the need for more a more aggressive approach next and it's been a revelation as to how much less is now required. One could almost say bead blasting - the default method, commonly regard as benign by most compared to sand blasting and such - is like prep'g a light scratch on your paintwork with 60 grit rather than the more appropriate 1,500 prior to final sanding and buffing - overkill.
