If you are striping a wood boat you might want to try "Dad's Striper"
available at Wal-Mart. I restore classic mahogany boats for customers and
have used about every stripper I can find including the $65/gallon variety
that is highly advertised to strip a boat in 4 hours. (I talked to the rep
about the 4 hour job they profess in their advertisement. He confessed that
there was one person using a spray gun to apply the material and 4 young
ambitious guys doing the scraping)! My experience didn't come close to even
getting the job done, much less in any short order.

Now my standard stripper is "Dad's" without question.
It is about $12/gallon and really works well. You may want to try the quart
size to see if it works as well for you as it does for me.

Has anyone used this material and does it work well??
Any advice?
I will be stripping paint and primer off the topsides and all of the
bottom paint. The boat is a 25' sailboat. I am talking about using the
blue label, not the red label Peel Away Marine Strip II.

Hi Dan,

I have a 35'boat and it took about 40 man hours to strip the
bottom. The guy behind me spend one weekend day with three people to
use scrapers on about the same size boat. Even after using the peel
away I had to sand for another 16 hours.
