[Shop-talk] alternative fluids for parts washers

[Ron Schmittou]

We use it on plastics all the time - you just have to make sure to clean it
off - don't let it sit. Works great. 


Thanks

Not for sure.  A shop owner I know took some pinstipes off a customer's
E-type Jaguar with Easy-Off (he was very specific about the brand name) Oven
Cleaner.  No damage to the underlying paint.  Not saying that you should try
this at home, just saying that it worked for him.
