Stripping paint with Oxi-Clean

Post by ulvdemon »

Just read in the latest issue of FSM about stripping paint from a model using warm water and Oxi-Clean. Has anyone done this before? If so how successful (other then the great work on the model that was shown in FSM) and was it easier and less abrasive then using oven cleaner?
Currently stripping the paint on a my MPC MF and the paint is stuck in clumps where I was using salt to aceive the salt weathering. Short of using a rotary tool, its stuck. :)
So I am hoping this technique might help it along.
