Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

To remove the paint, I used a hot boiling water and soap. After scrubbing and using Alcohol to decrease, I used etching primer and painted with engine paint.

Hi Chris, looking forward to seeing what you do with the engine. Just curious what did you use for soap? I have used detergent powder in boiling water and it works great at stripping paint. But if not cleaned off afterwards, it will rust very fast.
