Has anyone ever tried oven cleaner like easyoff.

Stick 40

I have not used this yet, but its said to be a great engine cleaner.

"Demon-Clean" goto www.bj-model-engines.com

after posting this, I went and order some. I will give it a try and get back.

Deamon-clean works good, but compare the price to about $2.39 for a bottle of Power Desolver.

DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER ON ANY ALLUMINUM
Oven cleaner is very caustic and will cause a chemical reaction that will damage alluminum and can be very dangerous .

Stick 40

where do I get the power desolver? Your right about the price.

Bill, I use the crockpot method also and it works great. Although you put a lid on, it does not eliminate the fumes. I highly recommend doing that ina well ventilated area.

Maybe my brain is fried already, but I have never been aware of fumes from antifreeze in a crock pot. The temperature is not high enough for any gassing off, and the lid does keep it contained enough for any appreciable amount to evaporate.

The one time i have done this so far, i set up the crockpot in the garage and only had it on while i was here during the day time hours. Just as a precaution.......

hi  been flying and repairing glo engines for 20 years   started out using full syn glo fuel and found much more wear in the early days than when i switched to a castor -syn mixkeep in mind that castor oil breaks down from heat  100 PLUS degess over the syn oils-so you are protected  when (not if ) you run you  glo engine a bit lean on a particular day-there now doesn't that make you feel better-better to clean your plane than to cook your engine any day

Aircraft paint stripper works awesome. Bag your parts and use a WD-40 nozzle with a straw and squirt everything down in the bag. Cold water rinse and they are fresh parts again.

Seal the bag and it will expand, but burping it will allow you to watch it strip and turn the parts.

Aircraft stripper is non caustic to aluminum, but has the full strength of regular stuff. Some are non-toxic. Always wear gloves. Latex surgical gloves hold up to it.

I found my can at AutoZone for about $6. Whatever brand, just make sure it is stated as being aircraft stripper.
