Chad_A Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Long story short, my newer Sabretooths with the "Teflon" coating have turned into a rusty nightmare. Water got underneath edges of the chipped-off coating after a day or two of glacier cragging. I tried oiling them with some usual spray-lubricant, but they just look so damn ugly, I'm going to strip them down and repaint them black. I know that all poons rust, but this is ridiculous. And, no, I didn't leave them in a wet crampon bag for a couple of days. Just the nature of this coating, I guess. After I dremel off the remainder of the coating, what is recommended to take the oil off the 'pons so that the primer/paint will stick? Usual paint thinner? Any specific stuff I should use?

ckiely Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) Paint thinner or mineral spirits will work. Emory cloth will work better than a dremel to remove the paint - also with less risk of damage and more oil removal so you may not need paint thinner.
