removing powdercoat

The paint remover technique to make a "spot-face" around bolt holes worked well for me

I wish I had seen this yesterday! very pro.
my results were much rougher, I scored an outline using washers as a guide, and painted on zip strip. It worked well but softened the powdercoat beyond the diameter of the strip. I am definitely doing this for the rest of my pieces, even though it's time consuming, it's probably quicker than using a dremel, and much less messy!
thanks
