After 24 hours, the TSP did a decent job on the latex, fair on the
oil. I needed to use steel wool to remove the oil paint and that
killed the patina I was hoping to save.
Simple green, suggested by plastic model builders, did a
disconcertingly good job, but also completely removed all the patina.
Bright shiny brass hinge now.
Today I will try oven cleaner and MEK-based stuff (m-e-chloride was
the stuff I was thinking of, thanks).
Will report tomorrow morning, or sooner if it all goes well.
