You may have hardened it further with some of those chemicalsreible said:I did not try the sand paper yet..... that might be next.
I checked and I have no lacquer thinner so that is on hold until I go to the hardware store.
6" wire brush mounted on a grinder 0 Coating 1
I worked for about a minute and barely touch the coating! At that rate I will be about an hour a chisel...... I'm going to invest more it supplies getting the coating off then I spent on the chisel's.
Is this coating common now? I have never had this on any of the other tools I've purchased and will avoid tools with this on in the future......
