Smart Strip Advanced Paint Remover- Strips 15+ Layers of Paint, Environmentally Friendly, Non-Toxic, Safe, No Hazardous Fumes, No Foul Smells (1 Gallon)

Did not work on the walls at all

When I added this to my wish list it was a reasonable price, now listed at 228 pounds which is crazy, I found it elsewhere on multiple sites for a much fairer price. I had no idea what star rating to put as I've not used it yet. Hoping to remove paint from marble.

Rubbish, bought this stuff to take off about four layers of vinyl emulsion paint in my hallway as wanted to re plaster walls. Only bubbled up in very small areas so very poor for the price and much quicker with just a large scraper and sharp blade.

MVP paint stripper. Bought this to prep outside porch and garage lights for repainting. Lightly washed the fixtures to remove the dirt and grime layer on the existing paint. After they dried, I brushed on the stripper about 1/4 inch thick and let it work overnight. The picture shows how well it worked. Just about all the existing paint bubbled off the metal. I was able to peel it off easily and used a Scotchgard pad to remove paint from a few tight/stubborn spots. After a quick wash and dry, I primed and painted the lights...turned out great. Three tricks. First, clean off the existing paint so the stripper has maximum contact with it. Second, be patient...it doesn't work instantly. Put it on and give it time to work. Third, put the thing you're stripping in the shade to keep the stripper from drying out too quickly.

It had hoped. No muss, no fuss. It was great to work with. Such an improvement over the "old' type product.

Muy buen producto y despinta a la primera

PLUS: Algunas pinturas como spray caen en segundos/minutos y usando una capa delgada de removedor. Otras pinturas como latex tardan varios dias y requieren gruesas capas de removedor, ademas de considerable fuerza mecánica con espatula para removerlas. El producto no tiene olor ni irrita la piel inmediatamente (cuando reacciona con la pintura emana un leve olor, mejor usar EPP por si las dudas). El producto solo funciona mientras es liquido, recomiendo que la temperatura de ambiente sea cálida para mas velocidad de acción pero no tanta como para evaporarlo. CONTRA: La cantidad que viene en el contener del producto es absurdamente pequeña. De requeririan requieren varios tarros de producto para lograr un solo mueble. A menos que sea un mueble muy fino y de altisimo valor sentimental, el costo seria mas caro que el mismo mueble.

I don't know what is in this product but it is miraculous in several ways: 1) virtually no smell 2) virtually no skin irritation since of course I got some on me 3) it actually WORKS like I could never have believed 4) relatively easy to clean up afterwards. I am strictly amateur without a lot of "crafting" space, but I had an idea that I would strip the gross ancient thick ugly paint from an antique wooden box. So... mineral spirits, sanding, steel wool, various miscellaneous hardware store paint removal products later, I was totally about to give up, the paint was winning the war. In desperation I turned to Amazon and found this product and I thought ok, one last ditch effort. Opened the box, (fought with the lid on the tub which says to use a 'coin' to pry it off and that is impossible, you have to use a big honking screwdriver) and just started slathering this stuff on the box. I literally put a regular garbage bag laid flat on my kitchen island with some extra newspaper, put on some plastic gloves and used a foam brush to do the slathering which i washed with just soap and water afterward. Since I was pretty much not even believing this was going to work I just used a ton of the product and spread a really thick paste over most of the painted areas just like I was somewhat haphazardly frosting a cake. Then when everything was covered i laid some saran wrap over the wet areas (maybe not totally necessary, who knows) and let it just sit overnight. Next morning: I'm expecting that either nothing at all happened (remember, this stuff is like the consistency of cinnamon roll frosting and it doesn't smell or burn your skin or seem corrosive in any way) or my entire kitchen island was going to be melted like the witch in the Wizard of Oz. The reality? I put a fresh pair of gloves on, grabbed a roll of paper towels, and LITERALLY just wiped the paint off. This ancient heavy coat of paint I'd been fighting with for days was totally liquified. It is a messy gloppy job, just like it would be if you decided to wipe the frosting off a cake, but it was surprisingly easy. In full disclosure, since I hadn't quite been a believer when I started, I did have to do a few areas again because I hadn't thoroughly 'frosted' everything but I would not make that mistake again. Anyway, after some serious wiping down I finished cleaning all the surfaces with some of the other stuff i already had, steel wool, mineral spirits etc. I plan to let it dry out real well for a day or two and will use Briwax to put a new finish on the box, but was so amazed by how well this product works I rushed to put my glowing positive review out. Total success!!
