I've never used paint stripper before - any advice would be most greatfully recieved.

The machine I will use for this is used solely for paint prep, and regularly blasts aluminium parts with no problems. It actually blasts pink aluminum oxide which is ground much finer than regular grit, rather than actual sand. However I imagine that the paint on alloys would be quite thick and paint stripper would be very helpful indeed. As the blaster may have difficulty in removing it by itself.

Thanks!
