Yes you can but I say why use something so toxic and hard to dispose of?
Get some Castrol Super Clean from an automotive store as it cleans paint off much better than brake fluid does. Easy-off oven cleaner also works well.

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not
to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools
for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know
how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
