TECH: Recommend a hot stripper, please!

No, I'm not looking for "Gentlemen's Club" recommendations...

I'm going to be installing a new cocktail underlay on my Pac-Man,
(and later a Galaxian) and was wondering what folks found to be a
fast and effective stripper to get the old paint off (or silkscreen
ink or whatever it is.)

I've got a small jug of "Citrus Strip" (or something like that) that
I got from a local Home Depot a couple of years ago - has anyone tried
this stuff?

And while I'm on the subject, I found that while removing the old
glass clips that basically all of the screws stripped out on removal.
Is the best bet to break off some toothpicks in the holes, or just go
to a larger gauge screw?

Thanks in advance,
S.W.

Darn, and if you were coming to Vegas I had some great advice for you, LOL.


Troy,

I use "Old Grand Dads" formula, works great.
but be careful, it's strong stuff.
