Has anyone found a safe paint stripper for a fiberglass cowl?



Most strippers will destroy the resin.

Hi Bob,

Acetone will remove paint if it's not one of those super hard epoxy paints.

With good ventilation, just wipe as you go. Use rubber gloves.

Don't use MEK because of the damage you can do to your flesh and internals.

Wear a filtered respirator for paints if you've got a lot to do.

I had to use acetone to remove paint and primer from my wheel pants,

stabilizer and rudder as do overs during painting three years ago.  

Also, a stiff bristle brush works well for hinges etc.

Just a thought, many boats are made of fiberglass.  Perhaps a stripper 

used in the marine industry would be suitable.

       I used a product called Citristrip on my plane.  It is a       lower toxicity product and worked well on the aluminum parts of       the plane.
