• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have a few panels and fuel tank I am stripping paint from. Last time I stripped a plane, methylene chloride was still available and worked great. I kind of “missed the note” that it has been prohibited and I can’t seem to find anything that is near as potent. I think I’ve tried three brands. Those that are called “aircraft stripper” seem to work best, but still week. While I understand methylene chloride is quite toxic, it seems that it takes multiple times more of the new stuff to do the job…..seems the longer exposure can have equal long term effects.

Anyway…anyone find anything that works well? What are the paint shops doing?
