Yes, after about 5 minutes, I scrape the part with a putty knife,
wiping the goo onto a paper towel.  I then usually wipe the piece with
a town moistened in lacquer thinner, leaving anything on the surface
of the metal to evaporate.  I then sand the part with sandpaper and or
the wire wheel in a drill.  I then spray the part with Restomotive's
Metal Ready.  Once dry, the part can then be primered (I use an etch
or rust neutralizing primer), followed by body filler to even out any
rust dimples and to smooth the surface.

When I first read your note I thought you meant; What do you do with
the stripped off paint and stripper?  I keep a roll of paper towels
handy and wipe the scraped-off goo from my putty knife on the paper.
That then goes into the trash.

Did I answer your question, or just write some words?
