Gunsmithing Krylon Removal

[beltfed74]

I just picked up an HS stock for cheap, reason being, hideous homeade camo job. Never having to remove Krylon from and HS stock I was wondering what you guys recommend, I wanted to avoid sanding if possible.

Thanks Guys

gasoline.........

Most thinners like acetone or laquer thinner will evaporate before the paint breaks down. Paint thinner works well, but good ole' gasoline and a toothbrush is what I use.

Does that hurt the synthetic or the plastic of the stock?

I've used acetone to remove Krylon from a scope. It worked well.

Re: Krylon Removal

Agree with Citristrip from Home Depot or Lowes ........ if you're in a real hurry spray Carb Cleaner or spray Brake Cleaner works fast.

Best used with micro fiber cloths/towels from the Costco/Sams.

I used white spirit from a DIY store on my AI skins....leave it on for a couple of minutes and the Krylon bubbles up. Wipe it off with a cloth

Re: Krylon Removal

Try a product called "TAL" You can find it auto parts stores. It's an aircraft stripper and I have always had good luck with it but like they said: Test it somewhere first. It's alot cheaper to replace a cheek-rest than the whole set of skins.

I removed Krylon from a painted AR-15 with brake cleaner. I don't know how it would effect your stock
