As Mike Schleigh posted, the effective ingredient of oven cleaner is lye, and it is extremely effective. I've used it to cleanly strip models painted in thick coats of brushed-on enamels, but I also avoid leaving it on too long, use sealed containers during the soak time, and gloves, eye, and respiratory protection druing the final stages of paint removal.
