One of my boats was originally lined in a nice oak faced plywood. I suspect it was varnished originally rather than painted. It has been painted since I got the boat but not behind the radiators which I have now removed.
This revealed the rather nice wood grain and I would like to open up some areas to be wood veneer again. Not large areas just something like 2ft square per panel, to break up the paintwork a bit.
Question is how to get the paint off effectively without damaging the plywood facing / veneer.
Anyone tried this?

Gloss oil paint or emulsion? Emulsion will wash off - eventually.
oil paint, try caustic soda, drain cleaner, with all possible safety precautions.

I'm not sure what it is. Probably not oil. I wonder whether it would come off just with a scourer and water then?
Didn't think of that.

If it's oil paint then you'll need some Paramose to remove it but you'll need somebody in the trade to buy it for you because they won't sell it to DIYers any more, you need to jump through all sorts of hoops to buy it, trade interest, VAT number, company registration number, blah blah blah.
Nitromors is a load of shit since they took the methylene chloride out of it, you might as well use yoghurt.
Thank you eu.

Yes you have to fill out a declaration form but basically it just says you’ll comply with the appropriate regulations and safety precautions. I looked at one of the forms, it just wants name, address and company name. I very much doubt they check the company out. |

It's been a while since I bought some, possibly sellers were a bit keener in the immediate aftermath of the rules change, when I bought it they wouldn't even deliver it to my home address, only the address at which my company was registered. |

I can get this shit no problem I was just wondering if it will mess with the veneer.
I realise it is incredibly infra dig to have veneers in the first place but due to circumstances beyond my immediate control and fraud I have to accept this sort of thing at least for a while.
Solid hardwood is obviously preferable and the norm but one must graciously accept temporary inconveniences and make reparations.

Its not serious at all I just quite liked the wood finish which was behind the radiators. There is enough hardwood about anyway so will probably just leave the paint. If it was originally all wood faced ply it would be too coffin like. |

Well to be fair I didn't think of trying to just wash it off so that was useful advice.
I know what you mean though, a symptom I'm afraid of Bit Of A Twat syndrome !

most of the "oak veneered plywood" that is available on the UK Market has a surface veneer whose thickness can only be measured with a micrometer. touch it with 120 grade sandpaper and you'll be through to the base plywood.
