First things first: So a couple weeks ago, I posted asking for recommendations on alternative chemical strippers to the no longer available old formula aircraft chemical stripper. For reasons I will not go into, that post went sideways. Misinterpretation/overreaction on my part. I own it. I've privately contacted the other board member that was involved and we've sorted things out.
I did want to let everyone know that I did purchase a can of the new formulation of Kleanstrip Non-Methyl Chloride Aircraft Stripper, which is purportedly supposed to strip 2K modern automotive grade paints, etc. Well my experience was that it did not do anything but smell bad.
I'm sure you recall that the old Aircraft stripper, in many cases, will blister paint on contact. The instructions say results should be seen in 15 minutes. I left this stuff on for 12 hours, and all it did was dry into a skin that looked like an apricot fruit-rollup. It peeled off in a similar fashion, and the paint underneath was literally as good as new. At the very least, the citrus based stripper that is meant for latex made the paint gummy.
So, long story short, don't waste your money on the new Aircraft stripper that is out there. It is worthless. I ended up going to HF and grabbing the 15 lb. soda blaster and turning this whole thing into a 10 minute job.
Hope this helps someone else in the future.
