I have allowed the wet application to stand for considerable time on my various attempts.

I have not tried to wrap it in cellophane (to keep it wet) for an extended time. I may give that a try, depending on how the 1850 performs.

Thanks for all the commentary. I will upload a new picture to show the area I've been working on. After my first failure with the 'citrus' stripper, I quit applying the stripper to the entire stock. Instead, I have been applying each new attempt to a small area.

(I'm pretty tied up today, so I may not get a picture uploaded until tomorrow...)

Cheers,
