What's the best paint stripper? I've tried POR-Strip. Not impressed. Any special techniques?

Ha! Seriously, I'm trying to strip the paint and some rubber substance out of the engine bay and the POR-Strip I bought isn't doing much. How long should I leave it on before scraping?

Or a soda blaster.

There are too many of us dirty-minded guys on this forum.

But seriously, I have an eastwoods soda/abrasive blaster. You need to have a decent compressor, but it was cheap and I think cleaning up with a vacuum is much better than whatever you have to use to get the stripper out of your car after the deed is done.

I tried to be serious.

Ones with daddy issues are perfect for me. jabsco gold. Need to add some acid to it to really kick it in hi gear. I'd have to ask my dad, since he did the whole thunderbird with the stuff.

Use a brush and apply one direction only.

Aircraft from Home Depot works great. It also helps to dress in a feather boa while scraping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I'll 3rd the aircraft stripper, paint it on with one brush stroke and no 2nd brushing, cover with clear plastic while still wet, let sit for an hour or more.

I don't think I've seen Aircraft at HD. I left the POR-Strip on over night and nothing. Looks like just another layer of crap to strip off now. Does anyone know if temperature has anything to do with it? Its only 45 degrees in the garage.

Aircraft stripper. If your having trouble Sand with 80 grit first to break the gloss. Working in a tight place like engine bays Wear full eye, face and arm protection. Use in a very well ventelated area. The fumes will over power you. If you can't work outsde or have a fan running blowning fresh air at you wait until you can. Not that I would ever go to a strip joint but if I did I would have a real weakness for the blonde with the brazilian.

You shouldn't let paint stripper dry. If you left the POR-Strip on overnight, it's dried out and re-adhered. I like Aircraft (as mentioned), but you can't paint it on and walk away. You have to scrape it while it's still wet.
