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,



Acetone?


Not good with PVC from recollection. T'was many years ago,1970s, when re
plumbing a 1920s house with PVC waste pipes.
