Paint removal from the throat of a horn
I recently repainted a small Victor front mount horn. It was easy to get the paint from the exterior of the horn but I struggled to remove the paint from the interior of the horn. I had some brass wire wheels that could go part way into the throat of the horn. I tried to buy an extension but could find nothing. My solution was to buy some .25" all thread, two nuts and two lock washers. I cut the all thread just long enough to reach the far interior of the horn, mounted the brass wire wheel with lock washers and nuts on either side and ran the wheel with my cordless drill. It was a cheap solution and worked great. Jerry Blais

Yes, great idea. I always just used elbow grease for that. Will give it a try next time.
