It works if used right. First if your not sure what your dealing with, buy the dumomd sample kit, and test patch (it comes with 3 small tubes of different strippers). My home is 1905 is lead, enamel, and multiple layers of paints. So thick you can't even see the details in the door frames because it was so thick. Pit the stripper on thick (1/8 inch or more) and wear gloves, it can cause chemical burns. Thicker is better, if you want this to work in one coat. Cover it with their wax paper and get out all the air and seal with masking tape. Then let it sit for 2 to 3 days. It should start to feel firm but not hard, don't let it dry out completely. Then remove with putty knife, use some scour pads and brushes for the cracks, and clean up with soapy water. Then neutralize after it has dried. It's messy and expensive, but it works for me.

Worked great on 120+ year old door. Followed instructions from the manufacturer's WEBSITE that said to leave on for at least 72 hours and wrap tightly in the paper. Took off almost all of the paint the first time, it just peeled off in sheets. I did a second round where I hit the spots that did not come off the first time, wrapped it up and scraped it off the next day. I used Behr wood brightener to clean it off (not recommended anywhere, I just did it because I wanted the wood cleaned and brightened, and it was spotty after I did the second coat. Used the sander on it to finish removing spots. Total time spent would be about 10 hours, an hour or so to coat it and wrap it on a Sunday, and 9 hours the next weekend. Not a speck of paint left on it.

There is no way this product would ever remove 30 layers of paint in a single go. The top of the stripper was hard like clay then got softer like drywall mud deeper in the bucket. I have 3 clear layers of paint (1921-1960). Brown, green, black. The test patch dried out before it hit 18hrs (instructions give 30min to 36 hours with 1/4" layer) so that was fun to deal with. On 2 steps I did 3 coats consuming 1/2 the bucket. After the first 2 tries dried out I tried plastic wrap and that seemed better. In the end it the amount of product needed to get only 80% of the paint is extremely disappointing and costly!! There is no way this would remove 30 layers.

I have used every stripper under the Sun and have always been very disappointed with the results. Even when using a Marine grade organic stripper that was more expensive then Peel Away. Six years ago a friend that has restored many old homes recommended this product. I was very skeptical because of my past experiences but when another friend offered it to me for free, I thought, “What do I have to loose? It isn’t costing me anything.”When I opened the bucket I found that it had thee look and consistency of Drywall Mud. I applied it with a cheap hog’s bristle brush, which gave a very uneven coat and covered it with a plastic sheeting that wasn’t what was provided by the manufacturer. Mistakes one and two. The third mistake was not taping it down on the edges to seal it up to prevent air from getting under the plastic to stop in from drying out. The fourth was trying to scrape it off after letting it sit for 24 hours. The directions on the can say 12-24 hours so I felt that I had allowed enough time for it to work.The results were rather disappointing. Where the material was thicker it almost took off the multiple layers of led based paint on the 126 year old door. To get that result it required a lot of passes using a putty knife. Where there was less density of the product it only removed a few layers of paint.So I reread the the reviews here on Amazon and found one that said they went to the manufacturer’s website that recommended leaving it on for 72 hours for good results. Also read that forcing as much air as possible from the areas that the stripper was applied to and the plastic was crucial as well as tightly taping down the edges of the plastic. I followed all of these suggestions, this time using the provided plastic and the paint easily came off. There is still some small areas that have very slight paint residue but that came off with using a nylon scrub brush and water. I also used a small Dry Wall knife to apply about a 1/4-1/8 inch coat to one of the 4 raised panels on the door. The other tip is to apply it in small sections at a time and cover and tape it as soon as possible. You want the product to be as moist as possible. It sounds like a lot of product was used doing it that thick but it wasn’t when looking in the pail. If you want it to be completely paint free, a second coat might be required. I’m repainting the door so some light sanding with 120 grit sand paper will be sufficient for my purposes.To sum it up, It’s a bit pricey, most of them are, but it works. Once you’ve used up the special paper up, I read that wax paper works just as well. Buy it it, it’s worth it !!!

Currently using this produce on an original tin ceiling in a home built in 1884. Many layers of different kinds of paint. Applied it as directed and left on for 24 hours. The paint came off easily. Every single layer. Amazing. Would give 5 stars if the price was more reasonable.

Stripping antique doors, works great but you have to take the door out side and scrub it down with a stiff brush and a garden hose. Then you need to neutralize the residue. But I must say it’s worth the extra bit of work. Decades of paint come right up with the plastic putty knife included. Make sure not to skimp when laying down the stripper. Don’t allow it to dry or it’s a pain to remove. I used plastic wrap and that worked very well. 1 1.25 gallon pail will strip one door. That’s makes it pricey to do large projects but the results are worth it. My only real issue is with having to scrub the door with copious amounts of water it softens the wood and it damages easily. Have some filling and fixing to do before I can paint

I have some built ins in a bedroom that had about 6 layers of paint on them when I purchased my house. I wanted to paint them to match my decor, but I didn't want to add anther layer of paint. I tried a paint stripper I purchased from the hardware store, but it didn't do much. When I read about Peel Away and saw the videos I was certain this product would remove the caked-on paint from my built in shelves, so I purchased 1 rather expensive bucket of the product to try out, knowing that I would need at least 4 buckets for the entire project. Boy was I wrong.I applied the product as instructed leaving it 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and covered it with the included paper. After 12 hours I checked it and saw that there had been no change, so I left it to sit. After 24 hours there still was no change. After 48 hours - no change. After 60 hours, nothing. So I took the plastic scraper that I used to apply the paste and began to scrape it all off for fear that it wold start to dry and I would have to by another bucket pf product just to remove the first layer of product.The product did not remove any paint from my built ins. I did, however, succeed in eating a hole through the rubber gloves I wore and took off half of my fingernail.I ended up getting a citrus gel stripper from walmart that removed several layers of paint and used an electric sander to smooth it out before repainting.I won't buy this product again.
