Smart Strip Advanced Paint Remover - for Removal of Acrylic, Latex, Oil, & Water-Based Coatings - Non-Caustic Formula - Indoor/Outdoor - Contractor & DIY Friendly - 1 Quart

This works wonderfully even stripping painted hardwood floors. I had been sanding the floors by hand, but decided to finish up the sanding with getting rid of the paint first with this product and to my amazement it works wonderful, and I didn’t even have to buy their paper that goes along with it, which is an additional great cost.I first tried wax paper because some people had tried wax paper, but honestly saran wrap has worked wonderfully! You kind of scrape and fold the paint onto the saran wrap as you’re going. There’s no smell and it was easy to use and the stickiness you have to wash off when you’re done stripping but it’s very durable!A note of importance, I put this down at 77° for an hour, and it lifted off perfectly and a plastic scraper that I used was a little harder point than a little rounder that comes with it!One photo shows the amount of paint that I used in the saran wrap, the second photo is showing the paint gone with just the finish on the hardwood floors, which is a little reddish!So you can see it it’s lifted beautifully.

I have used this product in the past. I first purchased it in 2013 and used it to remove the failing stain on my log cabin. I probably have used at least 8 gallons of the stripper over a few years of cabin refinishing and it did a great job. It is not as caustic as some strippers and IMHO does not smell bad. I have not used it on polyurethane and I do not think it would work well on epoxy. Read the instructions and use it accordingly

Lid is a nightmare. Who came up with this design? Super hard to get off, then the product is all over your hands, the edges, the lid. Then when you need to put it back on you have to hammer it and clean around the whole container. A twist off lid would have been much better. I had to buy a separate container to store it in. Annoying. But, I love the actual paint remover. Super low fumes, removes oil based and water based paint much better than other “low fumes/voc” strippers. Happy with the product.

I saw this product on a DIY program and the contractor (not a salesman) had nothing but positive things to say about the stuff. It did apply nicely and didn't smell bad, both points being very positive. Our window sashes had 6 layers of paint (1 acrylic latex and 5 layers of oil-based high gloss), so perhaps my expectations were a bit too high. In most of the areas, it bubbled up the acrylic layer pretty quickly (about 3-4 hours), but as far as removal goes, it still ended up being a chore and I probably would have been just as well off just hitting things with a 60 or 80 grit sandpaper, which is what I did yesterday and today after 8 days of scraping (1 medium and 2 small windows). Would I buy again... probably not.

I used this to strip multiple layers of paint from my driveway. It works very well. However, you do need to put a fair amount down to cover the paint. Approximately an 1/8" to 1/4" of product on top. Let it sit for at least five hours. Also, it's important to stay within the 24 hour window. I let some sit for longer than that and it became less effective. I pressure washed my off which worked fine.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I've used over a quart of this product now and it really does a nice job without the toxic chemicals and fumes of the traditional paint strippers. Pay attention to the dwell time and clean the stripped surface with denatured alcohol when you're done. I'm using it to restore a Lane cedar chest that had been spray painted with black automotive paint many years ago. It slicks it off easily with no damage to the veneer.

This one doesn't work well. Used this exactly as directed, then tried again with a plastic-wrap cover to prevent drying (as suggested elsewhere). I left it for 3 hours and it barely removed the top coat of paint (there were only 3 total paint layers). I then put more on and left it overnight and it turns into a sticky glue-like substance that is very hard to remove, and the paint remained intact.To make sure it wasn't user error. I did a side by side with a different but similar product and treated both the exact same. I left them both overnight covered in plastic on similar sections of the same door. That product worked easily and well, this one did not

This works amazing. Works way quicker than what's on the label. You should definitely buy this
