Alk is for soaking, conserves the ELO and is benign to the plastic

In Response To: I find something like Ajax/Comet cleanser, water, and a soft toothbrush work great after ELO. Never tried the alcohol, but I will next time. *NM* ()

I snagged a box of builts from the mid-60's, and all were painted with AMT lacquer (not terribly well) 91% wasn't touching the aged finish AT ALL.

Got out the ELO and at first it looked like that wasn't playing nice, either. But after a few minutes, it softened and I worked it for a while, but since I was down to about 1/2 of a tin, I decided to see if that started the ball rolling and sure enough, the 91 finished the job.

It's been so long since I needed to strip paint. Will Simple Green strip paint? What else is there? (I won't consider brake fluid) If I remember right, just submerge the part in a tub of the cleaner and let it soak. *NM*
