Dale,
         I tried the water based strippers a few times and was disappointed 
with the results every time. I remember hearing / being told that it was a 
one coat application and even though you had to wait a lengthy amount of 
time before you took it off, it would all come off in one coat. Well ... 
not so in my experience. I had tried some of it on a main lid and it was so 
soggy by the end of the wait time that the edge veneer came off with the 
varnish. I was more than slightly disappointed. I've never had that happen 
with regular stripper. I was all for it if it would truly remove everything 
in one coat but it did not. The regular Toluene stripper did a better job 
and at a much faster rate. My 2 cents!

Greg
