Taipan:
What do you use that's readily available? I have some starchem Synstrip but it wont touch It!  :(

Funkyworm:
Should do.

If you can submerge the item in Sinstryp then do it & give it time,  if you cant submerge the item try to place the it in a sealed container otherwise it starts to evaporate & dry out.

I placed a seat post in a heavy duty rubble bag & poured in the sinstryp & sealed the bag, it still took 2 days keeping the bag outside.
 
its not a quick process , if you are doing it indoors make sure it's a very well ventilated room,  failing that if you are sending the item to Dan for paint or powder he'll do it for you. :daumenhoch:

Taipan:
Its a Frame so haven't enough to submerge it,I'm thinking of going to a car body paint shop and asking them as they must have something that would strip it easily?

They all use synstrip from what i can gather (Paint is different to powder coat & comes off quicker ) . its not a quick process mate, i've done frames outside painting it on scraping a bit off using a wire brush etc then doing some more & it takes time (2-3 hrs) at least in some cases.

 The only other product ii know of is s (Permotex Gasget remover) but I think you have to buy it in from abroad.

Taipan:
Thx for the info fella :daumenhoch: I might just set fire to it and burn it off lol
