Paint & Varnish Remover - Water Based, Toxic & Solvent Free Paint Stripper for Ceramic, Concrete, Wood, Plaster, Masonry (500ml)

I am not keen on paint stripping, because they can be very harsh. However I needed something for a delicate area, this one is amazing it worked really well, but without harsh ingredients, i found it easy &safe to use.

I've been using this product for the last 3 weeks. I have stripped the paint from 2 rooms floorboards. Here's what I know now, this is NOT like nitromors because that product is now banned. I have tried 2 different products and they are very similar e.g they are as thick as wall paper paste and have a slight smell to them which is not unpleasant. This product is using some type of chemical process to make paint loose it's bond to the surface. So you MUST scrape it to get off the paint. I used a few different scrapers and what I found worked best was some wood chisels. Use a paintbrush and paint over the varnish or paint and leave it be for a few hours then put another coat of the product on and leave it for 30 minutes and then scrape with something sharp and flat like a scraper or a chisel. You must work with this product it will not strip paint like nitromors because its not destroying the paint, it's loosening it's bond to the surface, you might scrape and it appears to do nothing, just carry on and as you scrape the paint will start to lift away from the wood. If your removing varnish or in my case carpet tape it turns that into a thick sludge that can be scraped away but be prepared to have to clean your scraper often. I would recommend a big roll of that blue paper towel as your going to need a lot of your doing anything of size. If you hit any stubborn bits add some more product and come back to it in another 30 minutes and try again. I did leave this overnight several times and I even slept in the room I had applied it to with no ill effects unlike some paints or white spirits, etc. This product is much safer but also takes a lot longer to work and your going to have to work to get paint or varnish off so be prepared to get your hands dirty. Oh and don't cover it in clingfilm overnight, this product does dry overnight and that's why you need to add another coat so it becomes wet again before you try scraping. Good luck hope this helps someone with their DIY project.

Brilliant! I originally bought this product due to the low price. I thought if it didn't work, at least I hadn't spent a lot of money. I purchased it in 2023, put it in the cupboard, and completely forgot about it until two nights ago. I am redecorating my hallway, stairs, and landing, and needed to remove 6 layers of gloss wood paint from my bannister (handrail). Armed with a paintbrush, gloves, and clingfilm, I went to work. It was easy to apply and did not drip. I wrapped as I moved down the stairs, applying the stripper generously. It has a smell, but it's not unpleasant or overpowering. Be careful not to get it on your skin. I absent-mindedly touched my face with my gloves, and the skin started to sting immediately. A quick wipe using cold water and everything was fine, no burn or marks. I left my bannister wrapped up with product for 24 hours, and the results were fantastic! Removal was as quick and easy as applying it. The stripper removed all layers of paint, and in places, some of the varnish on the wood. If you enjoy peeling things, you will love this part of the process. It was VERY satisfying! I am planning to do one covering, leaving for a few hours only, to remove the varnish, before I repaint it. I've attached some before-and-after photos. I highly recommend this product.

I used this stuff to strip a fairly worn and sun-bleached IKEA Poang chair frame. For those that aren't aware, this is made from laminated wood (i.e., layers of wood glued and compressed together). I coated the chair and wrapped the parts in cling film for about 45 minutes before using both a steel scourer and a scraper to strip the dissolved varnish. This worked reasonably well but there was a lot of dirty residue left and therein, in my opinion, lies the problem with this stripper. It was quite difficult to clean up and required a lot of water which left the wood very wet and the grain raised in places. While sanding will smooth it back, I'm concerned that the top layer of wood will be damaged and water will have got between the laminates, thus weakening the chair. By all means use this but be aware of what you're using it on.

Ok so I bought this to renovate original doors for my flat. It claims to be odourless and non toxic and efficient. My thought process was why bother using my hot gun when I can just splatter this over the doors, wait an hour and peel it off. Plus I have 4 cats so the non toxic element was a plus. In reality this is useless for its purpose. The only plus is that it was delivered swiftly (mind you, I spent £22 to get the bigger pot and get a next day delivery). And it is non toxic and doesn’t smell. But that’s about it. Might have as well put moisturiser on my doors, it’s that ineffective. I put it on with a brush to make sure I got even and thorough coverage. Waited an hour. Barely peeled ( not even like when you peel off dead skin from a sunburn). It slightly bubbled in places but nothing to be impressed about. And yes I tried with a scrapper and the wired sponge they recommend. So I tried again, applying more, leaving it longer. Same thing. I thought maybe it will work better on metal so I applied it to the original door handles as someone had slapped paint all over them too, to see. Same thing a.k.a pointless. I eventually gave up because I had 2 doors to deal with ( I actually got a third one but at this point I am trying not to lose the will to live); I picked up my old hot gun and paint just came off like a dream. I really wanted this to work but unfortunately it didn’t. I lost hours and money I won’t get back. Might work on fine furniture to remove wax or light varnish but defo not fit if you need to remove layers of paint. NB: sorry I thought I had another picture to share but I can’t find it.

Results were mixed. Some areas it removed the paint well and then on a spot right next to it it just left a gooey mess that wouldn't scrape off. Used on old wooden staircase. No strong smell which was good.

Tar bara bort plast färg. + burken sprucken i botten när den kom. Mycket dåligt slängde skiten
