It will soften the gelcoat along with the old paint. Use only strippers specified for use on fiberglass! This is a very dirty, nasty job. If you are able to afford it, it is really worth paying someone else to do this particular job. Most professionals use a heavy scraper if the paint is really hard and brittle. It's a tiring job, but can be quicker than applying softener, as the paint flakes away in large chunks. |
