The only chemical paint stripper that I've found is any good these days is Starchem Synstrip. It's properly evil stuff, and does the job as it still contains dichloromethane, the stuff which they used to use in old Nitromors. Langlow Paint Strip Pro is OK, and much better than modern Nitromors, but it's not as good as Starchem.
I generally don't use either though, as there's a chap in a shed just round the corner from me that'll sandblast bike frames for £15-20 a pop, with a 1-2 day turnaround, which makes spending hours slopping paint stripper everywhere seem an even more futile exercise.
