  Help to strip stencil

  I just ran out of stencil stripper and need to do some printing tonight if possible. Is there anything that anyone knows of lying around the house or workshop I could use to remove the old stencil

  Caustic soda solution is very good, just be careful- very careful.
  Oven cleaner works- ditto about care & personal protective equipment.

  Alternately, some bleaches work.

  Do you have a high pressure water blaster?

  (of course it depends on what type the stencil is. I am refering to dual cure diazo…)
