JASCO them in the metal tub. Leave em overnight and they will be super clean. Remember, JASCO is harsh and can kill kittens if you don't protect your hands.

+1 on the JASCO. I used it to strip an old bike frame. When I painted my stockers, I used various grit sandpaper, it worked well but took forever..

^^WinnAr, Jasco paint stripper, nasty stuff, used to strip parts on my dads '46 GMC pickup, still leaves alot of work to be done afterwards to get the surface perfectly clean(sanding, scraping, etc.), but its the best stuff out there.
