Does anyone know the best way to remove gloss paint from Copper
Piping?

I need to fit a compression joint on 15mm pipe but need to remove the
paint first without damaging the pipe

Thanks,
Chris


Well, I used ordinary sandpaper the same as if you were sanding the gloss
paint on wood. Started with a fairly coarse paper then used wire wool for
the finishing touch and it cleaned up good enough to take a soldered joint
without any problems.
