Citristrip® Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel, 1 Quart

I purchased this product to create designs on insulated tumblers and for crafting projects, and it works perfectly. It has a great consistency, making it easy to apply without dripping, and the smell is pleasant, not strong or overwhelming. The product has good adhesion while working, staying in place without sliding or running, which makes the application clean and controlled. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do by removing the paint from the tumbler, allowing the vinyl design underneath to be exposed cleanly and precisely. The process is simple, and the results look professional. The size of the container is ideal for crafting projects, and a little product goes a long way. In terms of leakage, the container is well sealed and did not leak at all during storage or use. Regarding the quantity, it offers great value for the price, as it lasts for multiple projects. Overall, this is an effective, high-quality product with excellent value for money. I highly recommend it for anyone working with tumbler customization and crafting projects.

I was reading all the reviews about how it blotted the wood, but it didn’t happen at all. It only took 30 minutes, which is significantly reducing my sanding time. This is just a trial strip, so I might do my threads two a day. It started messy but you slowly get the hang of how to not make a mess. Super happy how I can get the old orange shiny polyurethane out in 30 mins. But to emphasize my intent was to strip the top coat as much as I can to prevent a lot of sanding, I achieved that result. It def did not strip everything there are left over coats here annd there and I used a carbide scrapper. So if you want to removed EVERYTHING it might not achieve that result with this product. I also just did 30 mins with a timer I have no patience.

I am pretty impressed by this stuff!! It was my first time using on a table where I just wanted to restain a very heavily top coated table. Pros: Works great and works quickly Spreads nicely so a little goes a long way Scrapes right off with a sharp blade or spackle knife Con’s: Definitely smells pretty strongly, I suggest going outside if possible! A little on the pricier side if needing to do large furniture Tip: the cling wrap helps keep the smell at bay. Ease of use:5/5 Removal of stain: 5/5 Smell: 2/5 Cost: 3/5

OMG - Amazing results!! Old Cabin walls - Smoked in, oil based stain, ***SO DARK** - this stuff is freakin MAGIC!! Smells good, I rolled it on with a little roller, let it sit for an hour (it was pretty much dry) and used a scraper to scrape away the dark stain and crud. See the pic -bottom is before, top is ONE coat, ONE scrape. Well worth the effort. Couldn’t be happier with this product!

Ok so I was not sure what to expect because I have bought a similar item from a different brand that is more creamy looking (like sorbet orange versus this Flintstones push pop color).. and I always read reviews and they are not promising. My husband is refinishing a dresser for our son’s nursery and the thing is huge (5 ft tall x 5 ft wide x 2ft deep) and was previously painted by someone with many many layers of white glossy primer. He has exhausted about 1000 sheets of sandpaper and it is 8* in Chicago right now so I ordered this hoping that the reviews were maybe wrong and that it would help him with the huge endeavor of removing all that primer in order to have the beautiful wood showing. He was IMMEDIATELY happy and when I mentioned the reviews he said that the people were probably expecting this to just instantly dissolve paint and that his experience working with paint stripper is that it all works similarly- the solution needs to be on there for 30 minutes up to overnight in order to really do anything and it’s expected that some areas will require multiple coats and scrapings but it is comparable to the harsh strippers he has used and it makes this process infinitely easier. We have refinished a lot of wood furniture over the years- various types and qualities and ages of wood- and he is a professional artist (oil painting) so we have quite a bit of experience in using various solvents and solutions. We both highly recommend this product and I particularly chose it because of my desire to use safe and eco friendly products, and this definitely does work and I just suggest that you purchase it with the expectation that it will make your project easier but it is not an instant fix and you will still need to have patience and let it sit for an average of 2 hours and up to an entire day depending on how many layers and what type of coatings it needs to strip.

I am refurbishing wood furniture and this stuff works great. My only concerns are that it takes a LOT to apply and I wonder how good it could be for the environment.

Works really well with very low fumes. Don't have to worry about something combusting when used for inside projects like some strippers. A little more expensive and makes one heck of a gummy mess while removing paint or varnish, with a putty knife and a piece of cardboard that can be managed.

After reading Sandra's review about this stuff removing layers of paint from her mantle, I decided to give this a try. The people who sold us the house neglected to tell us that their recent paint job of the house was done with cheap interior paint. My driveway was grey when we bought the house. Within a year, much of it had flaked up to reveal several layers of paint, exposing a red driveway under the grey. I decided to paint it red again so if any more flaked up, it'd match what was underneath. There's a substantial crack that runs all the way across the driveway and it looks like they tried to fill it in with paint. I scraped off all of the loose paint that I could and was reassured by the liar at the paint counter at Lowe's that said that their driveway paint had a "sealer" in it that would cover the grey and red and the sealer would prevent it from flaking up anymore. The guy who painted my driveway told me the same lie. It took less than a week and one good rain to make the new paint come off with the thick paint underneath it. But it took off the red paint too, it flaked off all the way to the concrete. My new paint job was ruined. Now I've bought this. I put it on a small area last night and first thing this morning, I was out there with my scraper. I still had my doubts, but the paint just peeled right up. I wanted to come back in the house and post a review right then, but I was losing daylight and I had a lot of space to cover. I put it on around the edges of the thick painted spots and brushed off the rest of what was on my brush on the inside of the spots. Just that little bit from cleaning my brush seemed to do the trick. I've got all of the thick spots covered now and I'm letting it set. By tomorrow, I should be able to scrape up all of the thick layers of paint, then a quick power wash to remove the residue and I'm ready to paint a clean driveway free of the layers of paint. I've got cement crack filler for the crack and a spatula to make it smooth, but after 5 years of looking at my wretched driveway, I'm going to paint it red again, hopefully for the last time. I may need to order another jug of this, I wish they sold it by the gallon. With the nightmare of the driveway, I hadn't even noticed all of the drops of paint that cover my brick steps. I've never used a paint remover before, but I can't imagine one working better than this.

Me encantó para realizar proyectos sobre vasos de acero

I’ve bought this for a craft project and I can honestly say that it does strip powder coating from bottles. My first go isn’t great but that was my fault not the product. Delivery isn’t the fastest for this item, I hadn’t realised it was imported, again my fault for not reading. Just make sure you allow time. It did arrive within the time suggested. *I was testing this on an old bottle already scratched so it looks rough. I also didn’t leave the vynal on for 24 before applying so fingers crossed for next time. *if unlike me you are using it for it’s intended purpose it works, not much odour snd a nice thick consistency for application.

Tested an area overnight to see if it will work, it is amazing. I will apply it to my overall bathtub. Make sure you follow the instructions. Use Saran Wrap plastic to cover the area to get a better result. Do not just apply it and leave the area uncovered. It might dry. You might not achieve what is deserved. I repeat ,add plastic bag / Saran Wrap after application and let it sit over night or 24/hrs

Great product, thank you!

Works awesome! Quickly pulled paint off of metal!!
