Title: semi-off topic paint strippers
Post by: seattle_Jerry on August 15, 2008, 18:39:53

I'm stripping a house right now to bare wood and I just went through a testing process of about 6 different products.

There is one called Multi-Strip that is taking it down to bare wood no problem. You paint it on and leave it over night. The next day a putty knofe will scrape it off in large strips all the way down.

It works by breaking the bond between the paint and the surface as opposed to the old stuff that melted everything. This stuff is non-carcinogenic. You can stick your hand in it and it won't burn. The downside is that it is around $60 a gallon.

They make an auto finish stripper too that I'm gonna try this winter.

I have no affiliation with them. It just worked so much better than old school stripper that I wanted to pass it on.

This thing makes paint removal look easy.

Would anyone ever recommend using the regular "Aircraft Remover" sold in most auto stores?

Yes, for huffing

Yes, I used it on a 107 last year (low odor variety).  It did a decent job, a lot of work, but that probably goes for any do it yourself product.  I was satisfied with the results.

Hello Jerry,   Can you please tell me the manufacturers name so that i can find the trade name here in the UK. I want to strip my 280SL and this may be the product. Regards  ERIC.

Search for "Back to Nature" and "Stripper"

I haven't tried the version for car finishes yet. I'd call them and see what they recommend. Their website also talks about the different versions.
