The Long Life Stupa base from April 11th, the last time we worked on it. We were unable to clean all the paint off, as you can see. It was sticky, thick, and tenacious. We applied three coats of stripper, and realized we were getting nowhere. We then rented the sandblaster and got the Enlightenment Stupa underway (we started there to learn how to use the sandblaster, as the Stupa Park is so remote). We're hoping Sherab's truck will tow the equipment back out here tomorrow, so we can finally finish the base!
