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,

Paint remover will soften paint almost instantaneously. If removed as
soon as the paint wrinkles up, it probably won't soften the PVC. Fine
steel wool for final clean-up.
