Stripper Recommendation.

I need to Strip a Fiberglass Door, so I can refinish it. The Door Manufacture Recommended the Follow Strippers. Methylene-Chloride Strippers are Against State Law, so they are not an option. Anyone used the below ones, recommendations? BTW The Door has a Oil Based Stain/Dye that just laid on the Fiberglass, and two coats of water based Varnish.

Sunnyside Corp. Multi-Strip Advanced

Jasco Premium Paint & Epoxy Remover (Non-Methylene Chloride Formula.)

Klean-Strip Premium Stripper. (Non-Methylene Chloride Formula.)

Savogran All Purpose Stripper. (Without Methylene Chloride and NMP.)

Citrus Strip. **

** But it says per label not for Fiberglass.

You can remove water based varnish or water based polyurethane with a 50 / 50 mix of lacquer thinner and denatured alcohol. Test it on an out of the way spot first. As for the stain - if it has penetrated the surface of the fiberglass I'm not sure that there's anything that will remove it. I have fiberglass exterior doors on my house and the instructions that came with the doors only recommended re-coating the polyurethane finish every four or five years. I guess you could try re-staining over the top of the original once the varnish has been removed. Again, try on a small spot first.

Same here--not sure what that says about us huh?

I mean I kinda knew what sort of stripper was involved but had to look anyway........

My personal recommendation would be talk to a local professional painter's supply outfit to get their recommendation---they'll be up to date on what's legal and best for your use.
