I work in the paint department of Home Depot and I sell a couple of strippers by Kleen Strip. One works in 15 minutes and the other works in 30 minutes. You apply it with a cheap brush, let it work, and scrape it off with a plastic putty knife. After that, you have to neutralize with their own product or you can use paint thinner, lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, or turpentine. These products work, but you have to follow directions to the hilt, along with wearing proper proection: mask, heavy duty gloves, and long sleeve shirt. This stuff gets on you, it will eat through hide, hair, and bone.
