One more thing. In german is called "Abbeizer". The closest translation would be "paint remover" or "paint stripper" Found smth very similar to what I used (at least I think so) here http://www.thepaintedsurface.com/paint-stripper-safety.php BE VERY CAREFUL BUDDY, THE THING IS SUPER DANGEROUS FOR HEALTH. You must use it with care and follow ALL the safety instructions: proper mask, airing, etc

You need a solvent (thinner). Now, you are right to be concerned about damaging the resin body. Reason being that in 90% of the cases we talk about bodies made of PU resin. PU=PolyUrethane. The clear coat is also based on PU (automotive one for instance). So, you can get rid of the clearcoat but you will also "atack" the resin body. So it is a matter of touch and go, and good timing, so success comes with experience... Normally you need to let the lure soak for a while, but for how long is impossible to say. Besides, many lure builders have different ways to coat their lures. If you are lucky, you have a lure that hasn't been primered (cough...), some cut corners and this will work to your advantage. What I said above works for lures coated with the normal stuff, if the lure is epoxy coated, pretty much you can forget about it. Epoxy can be removed only mechanically... I hope i could be more help but what I have here you don't find in US. Best is to go ask at a specialized store that sells auto clears, they should know their trade and recommend you an effective solvent.

8" line thru soft trout. Final proto. Tried a stocker trout pattern on it.
