Yep, B-9 is the one I use. The instructions say that you should heat it, but I get just as good results by degreasing thoroughly and leaving in cold solution overnight. Wire brush, rinse and repeat and that takes care of it. I know that some people are worried about etching, but I have never had a problem with that. As a matter of fact, when I stripped this one I found several areas that still looked plated so I soaked it again. It still wouldn't come off, but after wiping it with cold blue I realized that it was the polished steel under the nickel, still with a bright shine to it despite being soaked for two days. In other words: I'm not worried about etching at all.
