I have a Phil T. Sport 40 with a Klass Kote paint job I want to remove. Can I use a stripper on it or do I have to sand it off?. Thanks

A lot of paint strippers I have tried over the years will soften both polyester and epoxy resin. In fact, I have used paint stripper to undo an epoxy joint. (it soften the epoxy glue to a point where I can just scrap it off), I wet sand all my boats when I want to refinish.

Rich, I've had success with Soy Green polystripper on a PT sport 40, The inside is another story, still going to take some elbow grease with paper......==={}

I have used a product called PEELER on wood boats with good success. Available at O'Reilly auto parts in a spray can.

I recently used the Aircraft remover on a Backlash to remove the clear coat and had no problems. I started out with a small piece to practice with before coating
the boat.
Good Luck

I used an aircraft stripper as well, took my boat down to the gel, sanded it down from there
