Stripping paint from a plastic crankbait

[SC_WILDMAN]

I am wanting to strip the paint on a couple of crankbaits, what can I safely use to accomplish this with out damaging the baits. Thanks for any help.

Buy a good primer and you should be good to go. Not aware of any stripper that wont damage the plastic.

Some use walnut shells as media through a sand blaster.

try soaking them in windex.

oven cleaner works great on most plastics..i would test on one your not in love with

Mason jar full of rubbing alcohol works often, and won't hurt most plastics. Takes a few days sometimes, but you get to keep scale detail, etc.

Mason jar, blue Windex, soak

No experience just an idea. The active ingredient in Windex is ammonia which has a high pH (10.7). Oven cleaner contains sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and is even higher pH (13.3). Paint remover is basically a NaOH solution. So how about making a solution of Lye (potassium hydroxide) or drain cleaner which contains lye or NaOH? This would be much less messy than spraying oven cleaner and faster than windex.
