Repainting spoons

[darlk]

I have some old spoons that are in need of fixing up. Some have old paint and glue from tape on them. I am wondering what you guys have used to clean spoons so they can be repainted. Also if you have spoons that have lost there shine what do you use to clean them. Thanks

Darl, welcome to the site.

What ever you do, don't use bleach to clean them.

Lemon Joy is a good cleaner.

If you are looking to clean them I agree with nailer a good dish soap works best. But if you are looking to clean them to repaint them use lacquer thinner it will strip everything off down to bear metal . Then go from there.

Thanks for the ideas and the welcome. I have not fished the big lake for a few years due to no boat. We picked up a boat this fall can,t wait to get back out there.

Welcome Darl. If I was repainting spoons my choice of paint would be the glow paint the Cal. DOT uses on road signs, I believe same/similar to Moonshine paint. It is the best. What kind of boat did you get/pics?
