Mr Muscle oven cleaner is better if you can find it.
Get some rubber gloves,eye protection and a plastic container large enough to hold whatever you're stripping. Spray the part liberally and put it in the container and COVER it,do all this in a WELL ventilated area.
Wait an hour or two and remove it and wash with hot water and soap,
do hard to reach areas with an OLD toothbrush (don't forget the gloves).
"lather rinse and repeat"as they say if necessary !

Thanks man I finally got around to using oven cleaner and it worked great!
I just gave it a good coating and put it in the oven ( oven turned off :p ) for 2 hours and then ran it under the tap and 99% of it came off without having to scrub :flash:
Thanks again man
