Default Monokote removal

Does anyone know a proven method for removing 25 yr old monokote from an airframe just as old. This stuff is really stuck well. The open framework stuff just crumbles up but the stull around front of fuse where it's sheeted is the problem.

There really is no proven method of getting the stuff off. Heat will help, and some solvents will help a little, but it really comes down to using lots of elbow grease.

No grease please! There's enough oil to remove allready. Jusat thought someone might have a secret they've been keeping to themselves. Thanks anyway Mike.

When you recover it, try Ultracote. That comes off with heat.
