Agree; except the 'standard' Klean-Strip stripper--more readily 
available--seems to be pretty much the same stuff and just as effective (and 
probably cheaper). Interestingly enough, the last time I read the label on the 
Klean-Strip 'Aircraft' paint stripper it said 'Not for use on aircraft.' Go 
figure. 

Tips: put the stripper on heavy and wet and only brush it on in one direction. 
Don't scrimp, and scrape it off as soon as the paint bubbles; if you let it dry 
you go back to square one. Use plastic scrapers on aluminum.

Kleanstrip Aircraft paint remover. It is made for aluminum and works 
on steel too. I have not used it to remove Imron that I know of. I 
stripped my shrouds and wings with out scaring the metal. Just let 
the stripper do the work; it takes several applications. Use a little 
heat from a propane torch on the bondo.
