How do you remove the sodering mask from printred circuit boards?

For those of you who do not know, that is the green coating. I've tried acetone and it has little effect. I need a chemical that will do it, not a mechanical method like scraping or sanding. I need to preserve as much of the actual printed circuit as I can.

Most of the coatings are designed to scrub off easily with water.

However why would you want to remove a solder mask anyway? it is there to keep the soldering from wicking all over and shorting the circuit board so it should stay on.
