Yep, paint stripper is good to use and you will need many applications to remove all the muck :(

Filled it with paint stripper, till it was full. Left it for 30 mins or so, poured what little came out into a tub. Got an old tooth brush in there, and gave it a good clean. I repeated it a couple of times  :y
