After having restored a dozen or so fiberglass race car bodies, I know the joys of grinding that medium. Out in my garage,

 up in the rafters, I have a surf board I brought back from Cali around 1965 or 1966. I couldn't surf worth a dam, and was

mostly considered a "Hodad" at the beach, and I don't expect to do any surfing in the future. I only kept it because it was a

gift from a cousin who was an excellent surfer. It has a picture of the two of us glassed into it.

I just bought a quart of MEK at my local paint store. The saleswoman asked me "Do you want a bag for that?" :D 

 

Seriously, I use it to remove excess Sharpie® lines on lexan bodies. It works much better than lighter fluid.

 

I noticed they had toluene, too.

Too soon old and too late smart...

That's what my Grandma used to say! True words to this day.  :good:
