Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way of removing stove black/polish from the Mama Bear I'm planning to refinish? I'm planning on trying a wire wheel (knotted maybe) on a 4" grinder, but wasn't sure I should try removing the stove black the last owner put on it first. They used stove black on all but the back and door, and seem to have applied it right over some existing light rust. I believe I saw where Coaly stated Stove Black is water soluble, so I thought either strait water or simple green and water might be best for removing the stove black before getting out the wire wheel. Just looking to make the job the least painful it can be.... I get the impression stove black is a pain to remove. My goal is to get it cleaned up and painted with proper stove paint.
