20 Paint Stripper 2.5 litres, Paint Remover. Water Based Product to effortlessly Remove Paint and Varnish from Wood, Brick, Concrete, Metal, uPVC, Glass etc

This is easy to apply with a brush but there are some issues. I first used this on a cool day in early spring and it took a while to activate, wehich I guess is a function of temperature. I applied it to the whole of a garden chair, and after a while hosed off the flaking paint with a jet washer, this covering most of my patio and its contents with flakes of white and blue paint. The paint this removed can reattach itself to almost anything and takes a liot of effort to clean up. I therefore recommend for larger items to work on a small area at a time and use a drop cloth or other disposable surface to catch the residue. On hotter days the solution can raise and blister paint more quickly but dries out very quickly too. I therefore tried the recommendation to cover the item in clingfilm, but beware of leaving it too long. The paint can unblister and reattach itself. I am not sure whether the paint remover in the end is less effort than simply using various scraping and wire brush tools. Certainly on flat surfaces I found that a flap wheel is more effective. However, the solution is good for what I needed, which is to penetrate the convoluted surfaces of a cast garden chair, and then use a wire brush

I read all the reviews on paint strippers and bought this to have a go at getting the paint off a very big Victorian pine wardrobe.There are 2 end panels, 4 doors, plinth, cornice and frame to do so it's about 7.5square metres.I read the reviews, watched the "How to..." videos & started on an end panel.All layers were put on at around 5mm thick but this is difficult to do as the Biostrip is only slightly thicker than PVA glue, so a consistent depth is a pain to manage.All layers were cling filmed to stop the Biostrip air drying.#1 - Left over night. Top layer of paint comes off in patches. Cling film has gone soft & had to be scraped off with Biostrip, which has gone the consistency of the skin on over-cooked baked beans.#2 - Left for 4 hours. Most of top layer now off, together with patches of other layers. Cling film peels off like cling film. Biostrip the consistency of lumpy custard when scraping off.#3 - Another over night trial. Similar to first. Stripping only patchy.#4 - Put on in morning & left for 8 hours. Stripping as patchy as the first go. Cling film sticking to Biostrip. However, bare wood is visible in small areas.I was able to work indoors as there is minimal odour from this.The Biostrip sticks to EVERYTHING when you scrape it off and gets stickier the longer you leave it to "stew". The instructions say to wash it off with water and detergent. I gave up with this as I couldn't shift it.The Biostrip traces left on the panel will be cleared off with a heat gun.At this point, I looked at how much of the £30 tub I'd used and worked out that it's going to cost me about £150 to do the whole wardrobe, so I bought a heat gun.The green, patchy panel is the one I used 4 coats of Biostrip on. The other one is a similar sized door and shows what 20 minutes with a heat gun did.I am really really not impressed with this stuff.

Thought this would do the job quickly without to much mess however as not very strong had to put several coats on on the job became very messy

Did the job

Despite following the instructions this didn’t really work very well. Used it to remove some Cuprinol paint from decking and it was a nightmare. Some of the paint came off ok but it left loads behind even after vigorous scrubbing and cursing

Didnt apply to what was said

This is my second purchase of the Biostrip paint stripper. I use it as it is non toxic and I have pets. Am currently using it to strip mid century interior doors. These have many layers of gloss paint, some of it lead so cannot sand them back. I apply liberally and cover in cling wrap to prevent the stripper from drying out. When I see the paint bubbling up I remove the cling wrap and scrape the paint off. I give the wood a wash with warm soapy water, wait till it dries and then reapply if needed. It is messy and can take more than one application for heavily painted wood like mine, but that is to be expected. A fantastic product to use if you are looking for a non toxic paint stripper.

Didn't do what it said on the container
