Hey Folks,

        I need to hear from veterans of panel refinishing.  I am having a 
very difficult time getting all the paint out of the panel engravings. 
Probably 90% is out but there is some stubborn stuff left at the ends of 
dead end engravings and hugging the inside of curves and such.  I have tried 
everything except burning the darned thing.  I have tried two types of paint 
stripper...with hour long soaks.  Tooth picks, brass brushes, lacquer 
thinner, flux remover etc....

What other tricks are there guys?  I can't move forward with painting this 
thing until the letters are all clean or I will be doing the whole thing 
again.

I'm thinking about hitting it with my 1800 PSI pressure washer and see if 
that helps....

Thanks...

Cecil...
