Smart Strip PRO Paint Remover, Professional Strength Formula, Strips Up to 20 Layers of Oil, Latex, Acrylic & Water-Based Paints, Varnishes & Stains Usually in One Application, 2 Quarts

Some say it is slow, that I'm not sure - but I will say that this product DOES work, and works quite well. I use it to remove paint from concrete garden pots that I find in garage and estate sales (why oh why does everyone paint them?). It will remove multiple ordinary interior latex house paint with ease (leave on covered with plastic for about 24 hours) and it will even remove enamel spray paint from concrete. It will bubble up about 75% of the paint on concrete but you will still have to scrub/scrap to get the remaining 25% off - especially if there are any sculptural details in the surface. Highly recommended.

Didn't perform as well as I hoped for concrete block that had previously been painted. The only benefit I seen compared to something like stripeze or one of the other strippers on the market is that this has little to no odor. The main downfall is it is very expensive compared to others.

It does soften the epoxy- so if your power washer is good- then you can clean it off - for some areas I had to use a really tight nozzle - 0% - and I only waited 6-7 hours- still worked well

Garbage! Followed instructions to the T. It says it will strip up to 20 layers. The picture is after one attempt. The car has only TWO layers plus a primer layer. I brushed on a heavy coat and let it sit for about 24 hours. With a LOT of elbow grease it took off most (not all) of the first layer but left a large amount of the second and primer layers. At $90 a gallon I had to get two more gallons and I still need to do a bunch of work to get it all off. I should have gone with a different stripper but didn't know if there would be an adverse affect when mixing them.

I am very pleased to find this item. It has helped me greatly in refinishing my 1973 Super Beetle wheel rims. Strips the paint off quite well. Apply very heavy as instructions advise and gently press light plastic over and around item you are stripping so it does not drie out. I left it sit for 12 - 24 hours and then hosed it of with my pressure washer, but a garden hose should suffice. I will be buying more of this ans recommend it to others. I have been in the refinishing industry for many years.

This product works, however it will not remove more than 8 layers of paint at a time. We have been testing it on various moldings in our 1930's house with 15 layers of paint on cypress moldings. You have to be really careful with this product and check it continually. If you leave it on too long, it will harden to a plaster consistency and is actually harder to get off at this point that the paint. It will also stain wood if left too long and needs to be neutralized immediately after removing.

Excellent product, use as directed by manufacturer.

If you are stripping aluminum columns that are 50 years old then you will need to perform this twice to get the desired results. I also bought the Dumond laminated paper. I tried to use parchment paper and waxed paper but they do not work as well. It is messy work so be prepared to cover everything underneath. I am looking at some alternatives to see if it will go better. Two 10 foot columns cost about $200 in stripper and laminated paper. I believe I will have enough paper to do two more columns. So if I continue to use this product it will be another $150 for the stripper. That’s a lot but I couldn’t get any “pro’s’ interested in the work since it is so labor intensive. One gallon bucket did two coats on a column. Waited 24 hours before removing the paper. Worked about a 3 foot section then covered it. I believe the paper needs to be put on it as soon as possible.
