That's how you feel with lacquer peel. A perfectly stropped, insanely sharp knife.
That was quite satisfying

That bit there came up ok. The back corner is a bit crap. I had spent the afternoon after work jetwashing the garden fence, and this was a bit of after dinner work. However, my arms were already tired, so I didn't get too far.

As a side note, I now have another carburetor. Time to clean it!
