Been there and you gave me a good laugh because I've been there many times over the years due to being a die hard.
Point is it's an excellent stripper (sorry California, you can't buy it) but the others will work given more time and usually repeated applications. In any case it's wise to wear nitrile gloves, good ventilation and be very careful. If I buy it in can get a PAPER cup to pour a bit into then use a cheap chip brush to apply it with. We've got a ton of threads on this and a search thingy at the upper right will find them.
