I bought a paint stripper made by bulldog last night and it claims to be made for flexible parts such as a bumper, so i assume it is safe to use on fiberglass. I am going to try it out this afternoon but wanted to see if anyone had any warnings for it. I know it says on the label that it may cause the parts to swell and to just wait 12 to 24 hours before refinishing but is there anything else I should watch out for? I am trying to strip/sand an aftermarket bumper and then repair it ( I hit a cat going 55mph ). Any input would be great, thanks.

Do you have an old fiberglass project youre not using anymore? Like an old sub box or something you could try it out on that first. If not I wouldnt think that it would hurt anything I know it should be made to use on factory bumpers which are definately not as strong as a glass bumper. just my opinion though.
