My original idea was to let the blade sit outside with the stripper for a few hours, but if it needs to be warm to work well I may end up waiting a couple months as it's still pretty wintery here. I'd imagine there's some fumes from the Citristrip you should avoid inhaling so doing it inside is probably not gonna be a good idea either.
THanks for the heads up about the goggles, Sharp. I wear glasses so I'd probably be alright anyways, but that's definitely something you wanna be as careful as possible with.
