No ill effects?

 

None that I'm aware of. You can use it on metal, wood, plastic and I'm pretty sure carbon too.

Id be careful of useing any paint strippers on carbin. May break down the epoxy reson that is used. We generally use asaton to clean the frames up before fixing them. But paint stripper could be a bit harsh and may result in a catastrophic failure:-)

Dont think any abrassives are a good idea...

Will give cycledelic a call tomorrow, see what they will tell me.

Plascon removeall... works like a charm

I wouldn't use it on carbon. I've used it on Ally bikes but it's quite aggressive.

Please share what they tell you. Have a fork that I'd like to strip.

I think the only option would be to rub it down with water paper but you would have to spray with clear after because the carbon would be dull
