When I used such as I mentioned in my first response, the stripper did all the work, loosened the paint nicely, and if in any areas it wasn't fully removed, a second, or third application got all the rest. Some found that out with cheaper Telescope Lenses, and Eyepiece Lenses that were retained by Plastic Rings.Īs well, many Eyepiece Lenses are often combinations of doublets, and triplets glued together with optical coupling adhesives, so one can't just liberally soak down the surface of the lens, the acetone can creep and can act upon such coupling adhesives.Īcetone as well is a mighty nasty chemical, not to be breathed aither.Īs for the Paint Stripper, most of these products are Gel-like, can be gotten in small quantities like quarts from the home improvement stores, and they stay put, sort of just like a paint when applied in thin coats. Any contact with Plastics must be avoided. While Acetone is a great Glass Cleaner, and being in the Astronomy Hobby since 16, many have used, or needed to resort to products like Denatured Alcohol, and Acetone to clean Optics, and things like Smudges, or something else stuck to Eyepiece Lenses that conventional cleaners won't budge.īut Acetone will eat-melt the bejesus out of plastics like you wouldn't believe. What paint stripper would you use? Would mineral spirits or Acetone work? I already have those items.I'm no chemist, to tell you what's in Paint Stripper, versus other products like Acetone.
