I stripped a case with Dyna2 yesterday and had good results. I had trouble at first in getting it to spread corrected but was told to use a natural bristle brush, which worked fine. It did take a second application but that went very, very quickly. The clean up with water was even faster. I like: Excellent vertical holding, non toxic doesn't make my German Shepherd throw up like most other strippers do, removes at least 95% of the old piano finish the first pass. I also noticed that it doesn't bleach the wood. I like this since it allow better control. I've had other caustic strippers bleach heavily in some places and not in others.
