Dumond Smart Strip PRO Paint Remover, Professional Strength Formula Strips up to 20 Layers of Oil, Latex & Acrylic-Based Paints, Varnishes & Stains in One Application, Trusted by Painters, 1 Gallon

Good product. Stripping exterior window sashes. Put it on thick, white layer, then immediately cover with thin plastic sheet (cut up a kitchen trash bag). Let sit a couple days, remove plastic and scrape wood.

It does work. Worked great in my engine bay. Had issues with the hood because of multiple layers of paint. So for mine was a 1966 and it would only go though about 2 layers at a time

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.

I've been stripping paint off of an old Victorian porch for weeks. When I saw this advertised I thought, what a time saver. Well the person who wrote description about it must have sent a miss print. Removes up to 20 coats of paint, should have said, removes up to 2 coats of paint ... maybe. I put it on extra thick, covered it with plastic and waited 20 hours to remove the paint. With a carbide blade scraper I went to work , nothing. Ok maybe one coat came off but that was it. So I scraped an area about 6x6 and put another heavy coat and waited another 24 hours. Took another coat off but nowhere near all of the paint. The container says it it the Pro version. I'd hate to see what the mere mortal formula does. This stuff sucks when trying to take off multiple coats of paint. My suggestion, get a heat gun with some elbow grease and do it the right way.

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.

The product worked very well. The only issue I had was the containers were both cracked at the bottom. Perhaps packed better with some padding.

I was skeptical about finding a Latex paint remover that would remove thick paint from my stainless steel sink. However, I purchased this product, and applied it to the sink, and after waiting 15 minutes to 1/2 hour, it loosened all the paint, and I was able to wash it down the sink with hot water. This product works great to remove latex paint.

Can be used indoors and water clean up. I found this to work very well for the hard to reach areas on carvings. I haven’t needed to let it sit too long to loosen up the finishes. Best method for me is having an abrasive pad, steel wool, and soft wire brush in a cup of water to assist in removing the product and dissolved finish. Finally, a paper towel or rag to wipe away any excess.I do have an allergy to benzoyl alcohol, so I need to double up on gloves to use. The four stars is persona, as I was unable to confirm this ingredient ahead of purchase online. However, the container does clearly show that it contains benzoyl alcohol. It would be great to have a photo available online with this section of the container, or list in the description—or reply to consumers inquiries. I took a risk after unsuccessful research. Nothing some extra PPE can’t help, but worth noting in the event others have more serious reactions.
