CITRISTRIP® Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel, 64 Oz.

Product works as described. In most cases it bubbles and glides off. We had some smaller areas that were more stubborn and needed a second application. Made these tasks so much easier. I used it to remove old paint to reveal the wood on some items and to repaint a door %26 wall in a lighter color in an older home we purchased. After using plastic putty knife to scrape off onto plastic sheet on floor I followed up with damp rags/sponges with some dawn dish soap to get more off. For items with crevices a light abrasive sponge helps too. The product smell is not bad but you still should open window, doors, etc.

This is not fast acting on several layers of paint. The project I worked on required 3 applications, leaving it on for 24 hours scrapping and reapplying. I used a soft scrub brush after the 3rd day. All the paint came off easily. The smell wasn't bad but I'd suggest some ventilation. Make sure to leave a thick coat of this stuff on. Wear gloves and old clothes. It's pretty easy to use and clean up is easy.
