The inside of those pressed metal suitcases im working on had fabric lining, affixed with some sort of contact adhesive stuff from the 1980s
Solvents soften it up fine, but then it just smears around for ages and is still a pain to get off. Theres curves and grooves in the cases, so scrapers work, but theyre not great either.
Prior to solvents it pretty solid.
Its on soft alloy.
Im wondering about some sort of composite "wire" brush but thought someone here may have a better idea?
If i just had one to do, id just continue with tissue and solvent, but ill loose the will to live way before i get them all done.... : (
