Anyone know of a good stripper for getting Rust-Oleum off a plane without attacking the glue joints?

Thanks

I am sure I have a little bit of both C/A and Epoxy all over this plane. It has been repaired.

Just a tiny grammatical point:
A "striper" puts on stripes (or is a fish that runs or use to run up the Sacramento River).
A "stripper" is used to take paint off (or is a ........ n1) !

Thanks Alan I would be lost without a spell checker.

But I still need something to take this paint off.

Well a good stripper is a heat gun (a lot hotter than a Monocote gun tho') or Bix---which I have used to strip a lot of paint in my day. Not from models, but from woodwork. I think you will need aggressive  stuff like that to remove Rustoleum-like paint. You can find BIX at your hardware store. It contains lots of good hot chemicals,---acetone, methanol, and the best of all, methylene chloride. The latter is what makes a gallon of this stuff weigh so much. Anyway you would need to use it outdoors. I think it is also sold by the quart. You slop it on and let it soften the paint. Then you can scape it off. The trick in scraping it off is not damaging the soft balsa. Maybe you are stuck with sanding.
 
And by the way, a spell checker doesn't help if the words are real words! Like two, too, and to, led and lead, their and there......

The reason for the  n1  !

But I note the read rate has gone up since Paul corrected the title!

Here is a link to the best stripper I ever used. (no comments please). I have completely stripped several cars with it. It will remove paint, primer, even Bondo. I have never tried it but I imagine it will remove epoxy and CA. I minute' speck on your skin will burn like crazy. Probably not a good choice for wood that you intend to refinish, but great if you ever have to strip metal.
