To clean my brushes I use ammonia. It works like a charm. Not sure how it would affect paint, but you could dilute it down a bit and try it on an inconspicuous part of a frame. I don't think it would do much to metal components. Aaron Young Vancouver, WA On Friday, July 26, 2013, john wrote

Good to know about ammonia being harmful to aluminum. So far, I've only used ammonia to clean the brushes I use to apply the shellac. If in the future I need to remove shellac from paint or aluminum, I'll go with alcohol. Thanks, Aaron Young Vancouver, WA On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 3:18 PM, Ron

I think you would have to unstitch the elastic to remove the plastic buckle. Honestly, I don't like the belt much because the buckle seems a bit bulky, but again when I'm actually wearing them I don't notice. I prefer zippers and buttons on shorts and pants because it makes dressing and bathroom
