Stripper advice

That means it's a solvent acrylic so it's alcohol compatible .
I don't know which other acrylic thinners you used but a generic acrylic thinner is water , propylene glycol and a tiny amount of ammonia as a surfactant . No alcohols or ketones
enamels are thinned with mineral spirits .

Nothing wrong with rattle can clear coat

Compatible for spraying , alcohol will still dissolve it after it is cured , so not alcohol resistant in it's film form .

Somebody made good use of their junior chemistry set! We just wanted to blow things up!

I just make it up as I go

I understood little of that, but having made soap as a lad (once) I have a massive respect for lye.

sodium hydroxide solutions dissolve glass .
Figured I should clarify -- there's no explosion sending shards into your eyes .
It most often will break thru the bond between the base and the body of a bottle .
first
then it goes after everything you love

I found your caution about using glass jars interesting, Momo. I haven't had any problems, yet. I guess I'm running an experiment to see how long it takes.
I've used an old glass baking dish, too, but didn't store a batch of the liquid in it. Just used it long enough to soak some sprues-removing chrome plating-and then poured out the solution and rinsed the dish when finished. The jars that I used have had the liquid in them for months, but I haven't noticed any effect on them yet. I'll have to look for something else to use, long term.

The solution is too weak to worry about .
I was talking about mixing up a strong lye solution .
I saw the aftermath of such an event back in the nineties .
Some people that know nothing had clogged plumbing and had mixed up gawd only knows what strength of a solution and had it in a giant pickle jar .
I have no idea how long it took to destroy the bottle but I entered that danger into my data banks , lol

Ah, OK. Yeah, it's just SuperClean out of the jug, with nothing else added.
It makes a good cleaner, too.

Approximately 24 hours into this, have applied the solution maybe 10 times. I just spray it completely and walk away. I am starting to see results, and do not mind the slow progress if it means no damage. I figure another day or two of this then I bust out the gloves and toothbrush.
