Stripping paint off parts w/ Milliput on them?

I was just wondering if anyone has ever stripped paint off of parts that had Milliput on them?

I have a 1/12 motorcycle that I'm working on, that has quite a bit of Milliput in it, I used it to fill in the hollow frame & swing arm, and a few other parts, and then primed them. I did this probably a year ago, and I've pulled it back out, and the priming is less than stellar, and I'd like to strip it off and start over again, but I dont want it to remove the Milliput that I have on it.

I have a couple different methods I've used for stripping paint, and wanted feed back from anyone that might have done it.

I used to exclusively use Easy Off oven cleaner, but then I started using brake fluid w/ some level of success, and then lately I've started using Purple Power degreaser w/ an amazing level of success. The Purple Power has removed paint that I couldn't get off w/ any other method.

But I'm concerned about how any of these might affect the Milliput.
 
Well...I can't help you either...but, I would think the plastic would be more likely to get damaged by the purple stuff
than the milliput, it's pretty tough stuff.

Stick a blob of extra milliput in a cup of the degreaser and see what happens.
