Here is what I learned stripping many things with layers of paint. The stripper should remain on the piece for as long as it takes to work through the layers. Do not let the stripper 'dry' out, meaning you will want to reapply the stripper if some areas go dry. It should crinkle up like aligator hide and split between section of paint. It may be necessary at some point to use some mechanical method for really stubborn spots. By that I mean using a scrub pad and a bit of the stripper.
