I agree with the guys that you are not letting the srtipper do it's job. I have only run into one finish that would not disolve in metholene chloride stripper, given sufecient time, and that was some bizzare stuff from Spain. I had to scrape it off with a glass edge. The stripper temp can fowl you up, see that you are working at 65 degrees or higher for room temp, and if possible get the stripper to 90 degrees. A simple way to do this is to place the stripper in a jar and place in a pan of hot water, change the water till the stripper is up 90, (a candy thermameter will do) then it will work much better, this applies to metholenr chloride stripper.
