Has anyone had any luck with bottom paint stripper? If so about how much does it take to do a 25FK?

I would be interested in paint strippers that work as well. In the past we always dressed up like Biochemical guys with the monkey suit and the mask and goggles and sanded the old stuff.

The product is called JASCO Paint Stripper. It comes in a gold colored 1 gallon can (square). You will need gloves. If you get it on you it burns like heck. Its a brush on semi gell. I bought it at the local hardware store.
