Thanks for the info. I've heard about other brands that worked. This one definitely didn't. Its advertised as a bio freindly product without dangerous chemicals. I globbed it on a test spot and covered it with the paper provided and let it sit overnight. Then scraped and repeated the first step again but I was really unhappy with the results. I had a freind that ysed some other kind of remover and then pressure washed it off. He said it worked good. When I try again thats what I'll do.

The peel away works if you apply in ideal conditions in an ideal manner. I haven't gotten lucky on 1 or 2 applications out of 5 maybe. One day I will figure out the correct formula for stripping paint with ease. Someone suggested the Interlux stripper but I haven't ponied up the $75/gal to try it yet.

I neatly repackaged the stuff and took it back. West gave me no problem and returned my money.

I used peel away from Home Depot with some sucess, but found oven cleaner sprayed on, let sit for a few minutes and then throughly wash off to work the best. Paint literally melted off.

CC, what brand oven cleaner did you use. I wonder if it makes a diff?

I used Easy Off to remove paint from sides, never tried it on bottom paint.
