I've seen this discussed here from time to time but I don't think I've read where anyone has actually tried it. Well, today I proved that it works and works well. It took the original paint off a 1988 Grumman Scrambler with little or no effort except that I did use a pressure washer. I sprayed the Easy-Off on in full sun and let it work for about 15 minutes. The paint bubbled and peeled right off. I had begun the day using a DeWalt grinder with a paint/rust removal wheel but this was going way too slow and was quit a work-out so I decided to try the Easy-Off. I've used it many times to strip the finish off of gun stocks before refinishing so I had a few cans left-over in garage. The outside of the boat took about six cans but at $1.50 each from the Dollar Store, that's a lot cheaper than the sanding disks and will allow me to use a simple finishing sander with 80 or 100 grit paper to rough-up the bare metal before applying Steelflex which is a lot easier and cheaper than using a grinder. I still have about half of the bottom to strip and I'll try to post a few pics tomorrow.
