My bro just recently did his mk2 golf to the metal and i'm in the middle of doing my entire truck with paint stripper..cheaper than soda blasting for me anyway.
Just apply it,leave it to work but dont let it dry,then powerwash it off somewhere safe..always used it always will... ;D

I just started laughing outloud ;D  That reminded me of a guy that came for an interview years ago. His story was..."I like to weld, but I don't like to grind." The interview didn't last too much longer.

LOL, I could tell you about some of the interviews I've dealt with! Gotta love the idiots! First thing out of their mouth, how much does it pay? I need to make $80K a year, and here's what I don't wanna do. I keep their resume's next to the toilet just in case I run out of TP

lol wow guys those are some pretty crazy stories bout interviews. So im just wondering y does it say on the paint stripper to only apply in one direction. I have been following this rule but does it really make that much of a diffrence? also how big of a spot do u put paint stripper on? I do about a 2 foot by 2 foot square im thinkin if i do the whole side it might evaperate ??? is that possibe? thanks again marc

you dont want to do the whole side. It will dry and you will have to scrape it off and re apply. You have the right idea of small sections. You do end up saving time in the long run. If you go in different directions, the product will not be as effective. Its like spread it once and leave it. Dont mess with it too much. If that makes sense.
