Bought stripping equipment (gloves, brush, quart strypeez, 3M sanding pads: $40).

Tried one half rib near stern.  New plan, put canoe on side again, coat an area, scrape with pot plastic scraper, wipe with paint thinner.  Do 2nd time after do whole inside.  Then clean with TSP.  Step 1 teak cleaner (to remove stains near splits and nail rust?)  We'll see how that goes...

Tomorrow see how much of 1st remover coat I can get through...
