I have used patterned 1813 as a protective layer when etching oxide thin films with 10:1 BOE. When I'm done etching, I put my samples in 1165 resist remover. I can usually see the 1813 resist come off instantly, but I usually leave it in for a few hours, sometimes overnight, to ensure that all of the resist is gone. Hope this helps.
