Use EASEY OFF OVEN CLEANER. SPRAY ON AND WHEN IT DRYS, SPRAY IT AGAIN, AND WHEN THAT DRYS, WIPE OFF WITH STEEL WOOL....CAUTION....AVOID THE FUMES. GOOD LUCK

The lye stripper does work pretty good. The stripper also works on any grease left on the parts. This is how they use to make soap. Lye cooked with lard of some sort and then let harden. Let the stripper do its job and the paint will come off. Not a miracle stripper, but efficent..

I am certainly not an expert, but I will share what worked great on mine. I used Auto/aircraft stripper that came with a spray bottle. Spray generously with build up. Wait 5 minutes and respray the non-pealing areas. Then scrap off with plastic putty knife. I also used steel wool to get in the tight non flat areas. Worked great.

I completly stripped a SA to bare cast and steel over a 2 week period using a stock tank from a feed store and a lye/water mix. Probably spent 12 hours total labor time since most of the 2 weeks time was just letting it soak and cook so it could do it's job. Also lye gravy works real good on cast, the parts you can't dip.

I had excellent results with aircraft stripper, but that was on a 46 Farmall A that had old style enamel paint. On the cast parts I would soak them in a lye solution overnight after washing off the stripper and that worked really well. I think it was a can of lye to about 20 gallons of water. You can search this site for the information.

If you pour some stripper in a small pan or can "bread pan works nice" then fill a larger pan with hot tap water. Set the stripper pan in the hot water pan it will heat the stripper up and make it more effective. Make sure you don't get water in the stipper pan. Dale

I used that chemical stuff I hated it. It sucked I didnt mind useing it on sheet metal but if you really wanna get it down get it glass beaded. The piant stipper too you have to wash it with water too to get all the chemical off so you dont runin your new paint your putting down.

You can kick it up by putting a heavy trash bag or thick plastic over it. It works better in the summer. Sand the rest with 80 grit. If it won't come off with two tries, It is bonded well enough to prime over.

More like 10+ mil. Both layers of a 50-gallon trash bag also works. If you are using black, pull it out in the sun. The hotter and wetter you keep aircraft stripper the longer it will strip. Put on good heavy coats. When it looks dry, it’s done working. If you live in a cold dry climate, it just won't work as well as it does on a hot muggy summer day.

There is no simple way. It usually takes more than one application, for me anyway. The remaining paint will usually come off with wire wheeling (cast), or sanding (sheet metal).
