Might be a case of getting it dipped somewhere. Had my kart chassis re done a while back and they told me if it didn't blast off it would have to be sent somewhere to be stripped. Must be something like nitromors bit the full strength industrial version.

that could work!
i guess.

nitromors will soften it, but it's heavy going. try a bit of that!
