    I use a device I sourced from a friend who is a graphic artist. It
    is a small hand held high pressure water gun that is used with
    solvent to clean silk screens. It is made by a company called Tekmar,
    model # TG 300. I just use water, and it will strip a casting to the
    metal in seconds, no matter how much investment is stuck to it. It
    even cleans Diamnate investment, which is very firm and adheres
    strongly, like nothing. Takes the investment from behind the stones
    that are cast in place as well. Greatest little gadget in the shop. I
    had originally got it to spray the fuzzies off my wax models that
    were milled. Works great for that too. They are a couple hundred
    bucks......splendid investment for anyone who does lots of casting
    or milling.
