Watch out with midt 70 cellulose laquer, i did unintended strip a cerveny using only warm soap water for too long time. And another time I lost patches of MW laquer from the 90 to 15% vineager acid. Better make the dip short time only.

(off topic): The next step is glacial acetic acid, which contains only 1% water. I've used this (sometimes in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide to speed up the reaction) to remove lead remnants from inside leadpipes. Will definitely bite you!
