Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Anniversary!

As to removing the coating - HumiSeal have some purpose made strippers which
you might want to try. I am sure the others do too!

However, I can also task you to try PEG (polyethyleneglycol) or PPG
(polypropyleneglycol) - takes a little longer but it do work.

Proprietary strippers are safer because they have been developed for the
suppliers own material.

Graham Naisbitt
