invertmast, Outstanding job on the F-18! I have used Toluene in the past to remove paint(Lustrekote) from fiberglass but the fumes, mess and elbow grease were a major pain in my *****. So I did a search and saw your post. I figured it was worth the gamble and headed to Walmart and bought a jug of Citri-Strip for $11.37. Brushed it on and waited 20 minutes or so and started scraping. It took a few applications especially in the crevices (louvers) but in about an hour I had the cowl and belly pan from my Sukhoi completely stripped! Amazing stuff.
