stripping BCCC from fiberglass?
I have stripped lacquer from lots of corvettes using either Marson's or Kleen strip paint stripper, which states safe for fiberglass.
I am trying to strip base coat/clear coat from fiberglass using the same products and they hardly cut it. Is there another product that is more agressive and will not hurt the fiberglass?

Kleen-strip aircraft stripper. The one that does NOT say "safe for fiberglass". Used it to strip my '71 that had excellent quality PPG BC/CC. Contrary to popular belief, it did not damage the fiberglass at all. We neutralized with water, then lacquer thinner & scotchbrite (to remove factory primer), and then more water. Car was painted 14 months ago. No paint issues.
Be sure to let the bare body sit in the summer sun for a week or two so you're sure all the chemicals are out of the fiberglass before you begin any body work.
