Found both Simple Green and Gesso today. Walmart had a large bottle for $9. The pieces have been soaking for about four hours and I can see some paint flakes in the solution.I took one out and used a toothbrush and was able to get some paint off with a little work. I think by tomorrow afternoon they should be in good shape.
Thanks a ton for all the help and suggestions.
