Stripping bottom paint

I am dead set on finishing all the bottom paint removal today. Even though we have a 60% chance of rain and have already seen 100% of that. :rain: I put the bimini top on the boat and stretched a big tarp over it and tied it off so i can work in the dry. My goal is to run a 3m paint stripper wheel over the keel area and then apply stripper and hopefully it will penetrate.
 
Now I go through all that work and the clouds go away.

Does anybody have good help like this?

Its bad enough giving a V20 multiple baths but now I have to give my dog a bath. :haha:

Waiting on everything to dry out and I need to clean the carb on the pressure washer again.
 
I am done with the paint stripper. My pressure washer is being a pos. Runs for five minutes then I have to drain the carb, for it to run five more minutes. The gelcoat on the V20 is being destroyed because I cant get the paint stripper off fast enough. So far its been only on the strake edges, which are the worst. The gelcoat is just flaking off in pieces.

I need to get my garage cleaned out so I can get the hull in there. I should be able to pull the cap this next weekend. I figure once I get the hull in the garage on blocks I can sand the remaining paint off rolling around on my creeper.
