Stripping Cetol

[Analgesic]

When I purchased my boat 5 1/2 years ago, I received bad advice, that the Cetol on my exterior teak needed no maintenance.  Now for the past year it is all peeling like neglected house paint.   I'm ready to strip it and probably retreat with the new Cetol Natural product.  I heard about Citrus Strip, a reportedly less toxic stripping product.  Anyone ever use it?  Any other advice for this project would be greatly appreciated as I am heading towards uncharted waters.

Citri-strip works pretty well, but it will be awkward to clean off the fixed areas.  You also might consider a heat gun and scraper. I'd recommend hitting amazon.com and looking for either of Rebecca Wittman's Brightwork books.

I second the use of Citristrip.  It worked well for me last year and is easy to use.  Heavy coat on day one and come back the next day to scrap off the Cetol.  Smells nice also....
