At the moment I would like to maintain the filon that is there. The RV is a 98 and looks pretty nice still so if the filon needs to be replaced I would almost certainly replace it with a new sheet of the same material. It seems that it is easy enough to get.
On most of the filon there is only a millimeter or so of wood remaining attached. I would like to try a chemical stripper before resorting to sanding. I might go get a heat gun after work tonight and give that a go. Any thoughts on how filon reacts to heat? Should I worry about warping it?
