Good brush for applying paint stripper?

[larryq]

I'm stripping the paint off a beatup Craftsman cabinet and repainting it. Even with something in this shape the paint is tough to remove, so I'm using something called Citrus Strip to loosen it.

This stuff works, however it ate my little black foam brush in a matter of minutes. I'm thinking this isn't the ideal applicator. Is there another type of brush I should be looking at, or other method?

Any cheap throw away bristle brush should do it. I bought a box of them cheaply from HF for these types of jobs.

I use the cheap little chip brushes. They hold up fine to even aircraft stripper.

I would suggest getting a box of those chip brushes at HF...they cant be beat for this kind of stuff. I like 2" ones myself.

Beautiful, thanks for the replies guys. I'll look into the chip brushes. Wish the nearest HF wasn't 50 miles from me but I'll hit the local hardware stores and Lowes to buy in bulk.

For what it's worth, I like using the sprayers that come with the Klean-Strip Premium Sprayable Stripper.
