    Great job explaining the bombing procedure, Peter. I worked in a shop
    over two decades ago that bombed sterling to remove the firestain. I
    had no idea what the process was, and it demonstrated right in front
    of me with NO VENTILATION!!! Needless to say, when I saw that
    mushroom cloud, it was time to start my own business. Bombing did a
    great job stripping, but if anyone here is contemplating it...don't!
    Find a company that has the ventilation and know-how, and let THEM
    deal with the hazardous materials. I'm all for saving time and money
    by doing a process myself, but this technique will kill you if
    handled improperly. IT WILL KILL YOU! And keep in mind--if the fire
    marshal sees this stuff in your shop, he'll make note and probably
    report his findings to DEM (Department of Environmental Management).
    And once they have your name on file, they may just want to see what
    else you're using in your shop
