paint stripping

[DeepBlue68]

Chemical stripping has been a tedious process in my experience. I stripped my firewall and inner fender liners with aircraft stripper. It took 4 or 5 coats of stripper to clean the firewall up completely; I'm on coat number 3 with the inner fender liners, and they don't look a ton better than they did to begin with. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what.

I thought about brushing the stuff on, letting it dry, and then sanding on it. I have no idea if that would be faster/easier than just trying to brush stripper on and scrape it off.
