I thought sanding would be quick because you just rub your hand on this
stuff and your hand is covered with it! I might look a Smurf when done, but
it would be the cheaper way?

Is the "Peel Away" system where you layer on the stripper than cover it with
paper like sheets and it all congeals into one mass and you just scrape it
all off? Sounds like a cleaner way to do it.

I could take a good guess by what you call it but the barrier coat, is that
a water proofing seal or something and what kind of paint would you use.

==========================================

It will take forever and you'll use a ton of sand paper before you're
done. Best bet is a good chemical stripper, probably more than one
application, followed by a light sanding. After you've done all that
it might be a good time for some barrier coats. I've never used it
but others have reported good results with a stripper called "Peel
Away". I've also heard reports of people making their own stripper
by mixing methylene chloride with corn starch as a thickening agent.

Careful, toxic stuff.
