-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks Dave. The dremel tool did the trick. I ran it at 35,000rpm and used a #426 dremel reinforced cut-off wheel. Also used rubber gloves and a face mask. The 3M 5200 was heating up and melting on my hands. Not fun to get off. The non-reinforced cut-off wheels did not work very well. They kept breaking. I'm 25% done with one bulkhead now and still on the first reinforced cut-off wheel. The puddy knife, chisel, and utility knife are the other implements of destruction that I tried.
