Will paint remover work on Speed Dip and Formula 1?

Speed dip more than likely. F1 possible but not likely, never tried it.

Not all "paint remover" is created equal. Not to mention fairly expensive. Dips are rather easy to remove by washing it off with gasoline if your doing a few traps or abrasive tumbling for a larger number. F1 not so much.

I believe lacquer thinner will cut Formula 1. Soak the traps In It for 24 hours, then power wash the traps as soon as you pull them out.

Well the guy I just bought a dozen traps from must have been mistaken about what they were coated with. Sorry for the bad advice. This is the main reason I stick to dye and wax.

I know if you boil traps dipped it Formula 1, it will curdle up on the trap. Pressure wash as soon as you pull it out.
