Bare metal. Abrasive then wipe with denatured alcohol, Acetone or MEK
depending on if anything is left. They are all in the same family.
Alcohol being the mildest and MEK the strongest.
Nitrile glove are a must for all phases of the prep. Respirator is a
good idea as well. Eye protect is always a good idea.
