    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…)
