Get yourself some proper gloves, and what ever you do, don't get that crap on your skin. That stuff is like napalm. I'd slather it on the frame, and let it sit for ~1 hr or more. The paint will start to bubble, then you can just wipe it off with steel wool. IIRC, I had to apply the stripper maybe 3 times to get all the paint off.
