Wood Stripper

[Farrell]

Looking at their website: http://www.soysolvents.com/index.htm I see they 
have a product called Soy-Strip (suggested for marine finishes) and Soy-Gel 
(suggested for furniture stripping). Could it be there is some confusion 
regarding which product is being used? Greg, is it possible you were using 
the presumably stronger Soy-Strip?

Just a thought.
