Lacquer removal from an older Reynolds bell w/a krantz
I would like any advice to remove the lacquer from a 1952 Reynolds Contempora Bronz-o-lyte bell with a silver krantz. Should I just do it with the normal chemical methods. Is there a better way? This is my first project of this type! Thanks in advance for any advice!

Maybe a better question might have been do I polish this bell section first and then decide if I want to strip it? Also, when I do strip/polish the bell what should I do about all of the nickle silver(very dull) trim and krantz. Should I protect is or just strip/polish it as well? Thanks,
Kevin

I tried every chem on the market to attack a vintage King trombone, and a 70s student model 606. Nothing worked.
Nothing, except a plain ordinary can of Easy-Off Oven Cleaner. It was spray on, effortless, and perfect. And available everywhere.

I've stripped a decent number of horns, I have found Ferree's Z22 cold strip will usually get off the REALLY stubborn stuff that nothing else seems to work on.

Oven cleaner works but it attacks solder.
