Does the bleach method work for removing enamel paint on models?

I read about on aircraftresourcecenter.com and it sad to soak it in a covered container of undiluted bleach for 2-3 days?

Will it work or is it for acrylic paint?

Thanks!

Try Castrol's "Super Clean" Soak the model in it overnight then gently scrub it w/ a toothbrush Repeat if Nec. I used it on a Hummer model Worked great!!!!!!!!
The bleach may work just as well.

Nail polish remover usually get enamel off, but it can attack some types of plastic, try it on something you're prepared to see melt first just in case!
