Thanks again Ed!

You're welcome. Pencil this in: To the 20% plus d. earth formula, add enough
fumed silica to make soup, and use it to strip paint. Whole houses. I did my
whole porch with it.

It's slow with latex paints -- like, two days -- but fairly quick with
alkyd/oil/varnish. And it's cheap, with no methylene chloride fumes.
Neutralize with a dilute oxalic acid mix before painting. This stripper
treatment is used in historic-house restorations.


Cool! Thanks again, again.
