I'm gonna try again tomorrow morning and then its gonna be time to look like a smurf with my palm sander.
I have been using a heavy duty Porter Cable sander with 80 grit paper and its still a b**ch. I tried 50 and it cut thru it fast but gouges the gelcoat. Maybe a palm sander with 50 aint so rough. Also are you only brushing the stripper in one direction? If you brush it like paint it evaporates fast.
