Tried the easy off without much luck, all it did was clean it. Must only work on certain types. I had planned to sand off and use the interlux performance epoxy but would rather save the gel if I dont have to spend hours and hours sanding and polishing. Will try a spot with the stripper next

If anyone else has a favorite technique post away. Media blasting was a grand plus need to sand and polish for sure.

I still think you should just sand and compound it........... you could do it in a weekend +1day if you stick with it. It's not as bad as people think, I've done several 30 footers. The EasyOff looks pretty nasty! but if it works, hey I might have to give it a try!!
Good luck which ever route you take.

I had a similar project last summer and tried everything listed here. I had the best results with Behr Deck Stripper and and rototip powerwash nozzle. It took 99% off and my paint was THICK!

Update:

Tried the Easy off, no luck. Tried the mild reccomended stripper with better than prvoius.

Last tried the suggested Deck Stripper and it worked the best. I will still be taking it in for a light sand and polish. Howeevr saving myself a lot as the work is now minimal.

Did not have BBehr brand so I used Jomax from Lowes dispensing from a garden sprayer and hit it with power washer. Will try to post up some pics soon.
