Beetle,
I just finished stripping 6 layers from my boat. I start with the Peel Away but that did not work for me either. I used Bix in the orange can from Home Depot $15, it is compatible with fiberglass. Temperature is very important this product. I applied it when it was 50 and it worked some, but I waited until 60 degress and a big difference. I speeded up the process by spraying 2 coats of Bix on, waited 20 minutes, and powerwashed most of the paint off. I then sanded with 80 grit to remove most of the paint, then came behind it iwth 150 grit. Now I am filling in the chips and 2 gouges with gelcoat and am going to sand with 220, 400, 600, then 800 grit. Then compound the entire hull and wax it with Fleet 885 wax. It will look new brand new but it is a boatload of work. I live in Middleboro and have some leftover Bix if you want to try it.
