Getting stubborn lacquer off.

I have a Mira 183 which blows beautifully but the lacquer has gone off and it looks as if it has leprosy. I tried a heavy sisal wheel which does remove it [and lots of brass] :evil: but this is heavy and slow work. Any really viscious stuff out there nowadays. Historically tubenet has discussed this but the stuff seems not available in little ol' UK.

Oven cleaner, but but be prepared to elbow-grease off a lot of scary-looking black stuff that's left. This works.

And protect your lungs as really good oven cleaner is really bad stuff.
