Need help for stripping estimate

[plainpainter 217]

Just got a call to strip this hardwood deck, mahogony I believe? Anyways those spindles/balustrades are steel tubes with an 'equipment' grade oil based exterior enamel. How the heck do you go about stripping handrails and stringer boards and yet protect these spindles? And if there is a way - how time consuming is it?

Just a quick wet and EFC-38. You won't damage them. Make sure they are rinsed and very wet when you apply the acid. Hardwoods are where its at in deck resto. I cannot believe the voume of calls I am getting to stain them.
