I have struggled in the past with many different strippers. Usually I have to do many cotes and the smell is very strong. I took a shot on this and it worked fantastic! I did use the Dumond laminated paper and waited about 24 hours. Most of the paint came off with the paper. I wish I would have taken more pictures during the process but I wasn't expecting this to work that well. I did take a picture of how thick I put it on which was fairly thick, as there was about five coats of paint, and I took a picture after I washed it off after stripping. I have kitchen cabinets that Ineed to do, and I'm not afraid to do them now. And PS...no smell!

Love this for a stripping project. No smell no fumes. Works great. I like to let it sit for a day or two with plastic wrap. I'm using it to strip paint off a fireplace. I tried an "orange" one and no where near the same progress.

Wow! This made a project I'd been dreading SO easy. I found this table for a song, but the top was painted and needed stripping which I have never done before. When I was watching how to videos on Youtube, I saw a video about this product. It is AWESOME. I painted on a thick coat before bed, then covered with saran wrap. The next morning the paint came right off in just a few minutes using a plastic scraper. The pics show scraping in process, the result after scraping but before cleaning, then the result after cleanup with just some soapy water and clean rags. Now I just have to sand it a bit and it's done! Also, I did this indoors, and there was NO odor.

I spilled some paint on my sidewalk and after weeks of applying a layer and srcaping and over and over is has only yeilded sort of mediocre results. The paint is still very visible. It did make it easy to remove thick areas but the thin paint areas not so mucu.

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 would highly recommend that you try it on a couple of bricks. I did that …. And discovered that I need to apply it very very thick … don’t scrimp… be very generous.The product definitely works, however there is a ton of elbow grease involved. I found to get the most paint off, I used the wire brush at 45 degree angle.Probably the most important thing … after all the scrubbing … it did leave a green “sheen” …. Green was the original colour of paint on the brick. I tried doing a second coat to see if I could remove the green sheen. No luck … waste of time. I’m stuck with brick that has a green sheen.The paint comes off easy on the mortar…. That wasn’t an issue and it was easier to get it off the mortar than the brick itself.I used the paper they sell …. It worked well. It has the consistency of “Press and Seal” without the stickiness. You could probably get away with cellophane or waxed paper.I would recommend the product… it works …. It isn’t cheap …. But I’d buy it again …

I need to remove layers of paint, including lead, from the wood framing around where a new custom-built wood frame storm door will go in the front entry to a 1940 house built by my parents. After viewing a video on YouTube demonstrating how to use SMART STRIP to remove paint on woodwork inside a house, I thought this product would work for my purposes. So, I purchased 1 gallon from Amazon. NOWHERE ON AMAZON DID I FIND INFO STATING THIS PRODUCT WORKS BEST ON POST-1980 PAINT REMOVAL, nor was that info given in the YouTube video I had viewed. On Friday, June 11, 2021 @ 3:25 pm I painted the Smart Strip on a 12" x 5" test area on the bottom right side of my door frame. Left product on for 24 hours. On Saturday, June 12, 2021 @ 3:30 pm, I started removing the DUMOND paper from the test area. Some paint came off, but a lot didn't. When I tried to use a plastic putty knife to remove the reside, the wood seemed soft in places & I ended up gouging into some of the wood frame.I stopped & decided to reapply SMART STRIP to just the areas where the paint did not come off. That was done @ 6:15 pm on Saturday, June 12, 2021. The next day around 9:30 am, I removed the DUMOND paper from the test strip.....some of the remaining paint came off, but a some didn't. I decided I could not put anymore of this product on my door frame.I went to the DUMOND web site & found info stating that SMART STRIP works best for POST-1980 PAINT removal & another, more expensive, DUMOND paint remover product works best for PRE-1980 PPAINT REMOVAL. The reviews on AMAZON for the PRE-1980 DUMMOND PAINT REMOVAL PRODUCT are mixed, so I am going to consult a professional as to what I should do. I have already spent $80 on SMART STRIP + LAMINATED PAPER & don't feel like spending hundreds more when I don't know if the second product will work successfully or not. Because I have opened & used part of this product, I cannot return it. I understand that policy. Had I done more research, I might not be in this situation now!My point is: Amazon/Seller should make sure all pertinent info about their product is available on Amazon. In this case it is one paint removal product works best on structures painted during a certain period of years & another works best for painting done during a different time span.I DO LIKE THAT BOTH DUMOND PRODUCTS ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TO BOTH ENVIRONMENT & USER AS WELL AS SAFE FOR USING WHEN REMOVING LAYERS OF PAINT, SOME OF WHICH CONTAIN LEAD!!!!

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

I have been restoring older homes for over 30 years now; the house I have just purchased was built in 1806 and has 210 years worth of paint on all the woodword. There are so many layers of paint that you can hardly see the lovely profiles of the complicated, Federal-style trim. For exterior stripping I have been using the really ugly, stinky stuff, but for interior stripping, Smart Strip is fantastic! Paint it on thick, think peanut butter sandwich thick, cover it with wax paper and walk away for a day or two. There's almost NO smell, and it doesn't burn your skin if you get some on you. This product won't quickly take your project down to bare wood, but after a few applications you can either sand or use a heat gun to finish the job. Paint scrapes off pretty easily with a sharp scraper, and you can just put the stuff in a trash bag without it melting through. Again, you will have to be patient to use this product, but it's worth the time. This is my second gallon tub and I plan to buy more when I run out of it!Ok, a quick 2020 addendum. I've just purchased my forth gallon since this old house has so much trim that has needed to be stripped. I've also tried a few other soy strippers in the meanwhile, which were gooey, stinky and required that the surface be washed after removal of the stripper. Gross. Stick with this product, and even if you have to apply multiple times, you will get a good result and almost NO odor. No regrets.
