What brands/ types of paint strippers dissolve the paint instead of making a chippy sludge?
Thanks, AB

Look for paint strippers containing NMP (N-Methyl-pyrrolidinone), GBL (gamma-Butyrolactone), or DBE (Dibasic Esters). They work from the top down which is to say, the dissolve the paint. They are VERY slow. You might want to consider lye such as is found in on of the Peel-Away products but these are really aggressive an, as you can imagine, really corrosive. You will have to neutralize the residue on the surface after you have removed the bulk.
Good Luck.
