I've found that "Dad's" paint stripper, as recommended by Randy Ryan several years ago, works better for me than straight acetone. Brush it on, letting the treated area stand for 5-10 minutes and then wipe and/or lift the silkspan off. For very old dope I sometimes need a couple applications, but the silkspan will most often peal back on the first try. Repeat until all is pealed off. It's messy work, but has saved a couple wings so far.
