How to (safely) remove 6" wide black stripes off the cloth wingtips?

Hate when that happens... lol. Never hurts to ask. Except in boot camp. Then it hurts. But you get very physically fit for your troubles.

Well, that kills my hare-brained idea of "floating" them off with butyrate dope rejuvenator.

Newer, not sure when but definitely not original.

If it were me (okay that's a lie... if it were really me I'd leave it alone because this plane already looks better than mine) I think I'd go with the wet sanding idea.

I wouldn't trust being able to control the spread & penetration of any stripping chemicals, and I'd be worried about what they would to do to the underlying fabric.

Is the yellow old-school dope, or is it something newer like Stewart or Stitts?

I am reading about Citri-Strip, wet sanding at about 800 grit. I know many have suggested just painting them over or leaving it alone. Has anyone (safely) stripped any paint off a cloth wingtip? I am wide open for suggestions. The goal is to remove all the black stripes to leave the aircraft all yellow. I did get the white pin stripes on the black stripes off, those were vintage 1970's vinyl.
