Absoltely not on any fiberglass parts. I had some drips of epoxy on a metal plane and the paint stripper took the epoxy right off. I was pretty surprised that it ate the epoxy. I don't know about using it on the outside of plywood on the boat, but I wouldn't take the chance.
I completely stripped a KR of paint and it was a nightmare of a job to sand the paint off. When I was nearly done I found that a triangular scraping tool like this http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=240-3362&PMPXNO=4839432&PARTPG=INLM K3 worked good to get most of the paint off before sanding. I have recently bought a flat carbide blade scraping tool from Harbor Freight that looks like it would do a better job, but I fortunately am not removing paint from anything right now. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40895 Good luck. It is a real pain to do and I would never do it again. I would just scuff sand and paint over the old paint if I had to do a whole plane again.

It would really save me some time if I could use it.
