I use this on all the areas that it will reach.

I use Jasco and a wire brush on the areas that the sander won't reach. I also use a wire wheel mounted on a drill in those areas.

Any burns that I get from the stripper are superficial and no big deal. I have trouble remembering to put my gloves on. It could be hazardous to my health if I did it all the time, but I don't.

Sandblasting is tedious and unhealthy, too.
