It is not quite as "easy" as it seems. I worked for a long time removing 20 years of bottom paint from my 15' Henry O (whaler-like) using various strippers. Easy Off was the 'easiest', but that is relative. Some ofthe bio strippers worked well too. The easy off would have gotten real expensive fast with the number of cans I went through .I used it mostly on tight spots like the chines, etc. Also wear good protective clothing. I wore holes in my gloves on occaision or had drips inside them and it burns holes in your flesh fast.
