Anyone have a simple way to get the outside alum skin off. May work around that problem. Bob Dunahugh

Bob,

The skin is epoxied to the door with what I believe to be 3M EC 2216. I say that because when heated up to remove stringer in The
Blue Streak the smell that it produced caused a flashback to my Apollo days when we'd heat it up to expedite the cure.

I recently removed a stringer in ceiling of the bath so I could install a Fantastic Fan. I used one of these:

with one of these blades:

The blade was thinner than the thickness of the epoxy.

Regards,
Rob M.
