This is why I never use chemicals for paint stripping. Take a cab for example. Use chemical solvents that seep into places like the rain gutter, or any spot weld anywhere. Now, once the paint is off and you are all happy, learn to be sad again, because that chemical that you used is dried and dormant in those hard to reach places, that really are totally impossible to guarantee you got all of it.
So then primer over it, feel good about it, then a few years later after any condensation or water hits it and it starts to deteriorate your precious paint job. Maybe I am being overly paranoid, but I sleep better just using blasting techniques. That Stanley Plane is a beautiful thing, and with #1 (almost like flour) Silica sand or something better (on very low pressure), not one striation, or one small infinitesimal feature is harmed in any way.
I understand the beauty of chemical stripping and why people would desperately want that to work, but it just doesn't for the reasons stated above. So, if you have a single piece of metal with no spot welds, no oddities of any kind, by all means strip it with chemicals. If you don't, pay the same price so many others out there have paid. I just don't earn enough money to re-do my restorations every few years due to paint being eaten from the inside. Don't take my word for it, there are any number of sites that caution about this very thing.
Its how I roll. Others have opposite opinions. It's just something I don't have to think about. Other stuff to do!
