Paint removal in cold weather?

[gunner1]

I'm looking into stripping the paint off of my 16' aluminum Starcraft, but all the paint strippers I see say to use above 60 degrees. Is there anything I can use at lower temps? I live in New York and the weather is going to be in the upper 30's to mid 40's soon.

Give it a try, worst that could happen is you will mess up the paint

You could try tenting it and using a heater to keep things around 60. Make sure to have enough ventilation under there to work!

Since your boat is aluminum, would a heat gun and a putty knife work?
