The fiberglass shield for my flywheel grinder has excessive dried up grinder swarf, easily up to 1" thick, solid as a rock (previous owner did not believe in cleaning). If it was metal I'd knock the bulk off with needle scaler then wire brush to bare metal. The inside of shroud was not "finished", you can see it is rough fiberglass and see the fabric weave, not sure how well needle scaler would work, and hitting it with wire brush seems wrong.
Any suggestions on how to dissolve this stuff? Muriatic acid?(no idea what that would do to fiberglass). Ultimately I would like to clean, maybe smooth interior surface so it does not hold swarf, and paint it white because it gets awfully dark in that hole. Any suggestions?
