hey guys , i just heard a newone yesterday , from a woman !
when redoing old hinges and fixtures and such , slow cook them in a crock pot (like a brisket) for 24 hours !
it ’s suposed to take old paint and finishes off , without the messy chemicals and messy clean up .
simply was and dry , ( ihavent tried it yet , but it sounds reasonable ) .
water / heat / clean . sounds like something we can handle !

If you put baking soda in the water it goes quicker. I do this on an outdoor stove in a not to be used again pot.
