Default How to remove paint from PVC pipe?

MiamiCuse wrote:
I have a section of PVC pipe I need to put a ball valve in. The pipe was
previously painted (I believe water based paint) and I need to clean that
paint off so I can apply PVC primer and glue. What is the best way to clean
the paint off? I tried sandpaper and that did not go very far,

Thanks,

MC


Coarser sandpaper... OR if the pipe was just painted over without prep,
you might have luck with hot water (as hot as you can stand) and a soft
scraper (think bondo spreader)
