Caution may be in order here. Most fiberglass is glass fibers encapsulated
in an epoxy like resin. Some strippers will eat the resin.
I would avoid the strippers using methylene chloride. They have citrus
based strippers that might do the trick. Of course there is always sanding.

If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent.

What do you mean by being unsuccessful? Strippers are commonplace - every
Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, Sears, and most local bars have strippers
of one sort or another. Take a look at what's out there and follow the
directions.
