Reply To: Trouble removing paint off bakelite radio

[rudedaddy]

Up date …… used the aircraft stripper ……. same results as other paint strippers ……. nothing seems to work on removing the paint from this radio ….
My method was to put a good gob of the stuff on the cabinet , cover it with plastic film , wait 10-15 minutes , then check the progress …. nothing much changed , no rippling of the paint ….just the plastic film showed some change ….. I can only say that the surface paint they used at this time 1939 , was not paint …..I am so frustrated now….
