After it bubbles and loosens, wash off the paint with a garden hose. You can use plastic scrapers or wire brushes to remove more stubborn paint. It may take two applications to get it all. Look how unfinished and rough the spine is.

This will take some work on the belt sander. I started with ordinary 80 grit, just to get the steel off.
As you can see, the stripper has discolored the blade.

Cleaning up this choil will take some work with the Dremel tool.
