Stripping paint from rails?

[snowsnowsnow]

i need to strip the paint off a 14 ft rail, is there an easy way to do this? metal brushes? heating it up? sanding it? i've tried paint thinner and that just takes FOREVER...any ideas?

also u can try a round metal brush on a drill

yea there are circular metal wire brush bits you can get for drills. they work like a charm. excellent for cleaning off rust too

Paint remover actually works reallly well. I just put it on and it just falls off with the paint. Watch it though, you get some on your hands and it burns soo much. I guess it would be too good for ski clothing either.

And, uh, there is a difference between thinner and remover. Check out like Home Depot or something.
