Well, I've removed 99% the spray paint from the 1978 Dark Green kettle. It looks great overall, but there is JB weld on the inside and exterior of the lid of the kettle, theoretically holding the lid handle on? I would really like to remove the JB weld from the inside of the lid especially...I don't think I want that inside something I use to cook with. I've looked at things online that suggest heating it up with a heat gun, or soaking in acetone, but I was curious if any of you have any suggestions...I've chipped away a fair amount on the exterior with the razor scraper, but it won't budge on the thicker interior deposits...
This kettle is BEAUTIFUL, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why the previous owner did all this. There are NO dings on the kettle lid, and only two small areas of missing paint on the bowl. Leg sockets were SOLID. And yet, he painted a glossy dark green kettle with dark green spray paint.
Pics to come, but let me know your thoughts about removing it.
