Paint Stripping Issues

I'm trying to strip the paint off my frame, using Jasco paint stripper. And it's really not working very well. 5 applications and most of the paint is still on there. I searched through these forums and Jasco is recommended by some, so I don't think it's the stripper. I'm applying with a brush, as thick as I can (it's dripping off). It is hot outside - the bike is in the garage, with the door open to mostly closed, depending. So it's shaded. I'm not wiping it off after 15 minutes because no wrinklage is appearing. Tend to be waiting 30 min or longer. I scrub it off with steel wool.

I'm not sure if it's my application, the pain on the bike ('84 schwinn), or just bad luck. Any advice?
