Default What kind of stripper for fiberglass

I'd like to strip off the paint on my 63 hardtop. What kind of stripper won't harm the fiberglass?

Another vote for Captain Lees. Be sure to follow all the safety precautions, and especially be serious about using chemical resistant goggles and chemical resistant gloves. It burns like fire on skin. Gives me the chills to think about it on an unprotected eye.

Klean-Strip Aircraft fiberglass paint remover. I also had good results using it.

I was going to suggest any decent looking female that will take her clothes off, but i obviously misread the title intent.

With any paint stripper made for fiberglass you need to be careful. I stripped the dash on my '54 with Captain Lee's and I had a couple small "soft spots". I mixed up some resin and, after it hardened. they weren't soft any more.
