Sunnyside 63432 2-Minute Remover Advanced Paint & Varnish Remover Gel, Quart

What? This works AMAZING! You will not be disappointed. This definitely gets the job done.

Follow the directions and the paint remover does its job.

Save your money! I purchased this and used it on a stained and varnished coffee table that needed to be refinished. It barely lifted any layer of existing finish, and only in a small area of the table, far from its entirety. This is a waste of money! To add insult to injury, it arrived already having been opened by someone else (my guess is that that person used it and experienced the same problem) so don't know how it shipped to me at all (no quality assurance/control), and Amazon will not allow its return.

This is a gel which makes it easier to control the amount used works great!

Not effective for old multilayered painted surfaces. Underlying paint layers are not softened by this product. Seems reasonably effective for thin single layers only. Other than that, it adheres to vertical surfaces well and does not have an overwhelming chemical smell.Edit: Found a technique that works on old multilayered paint surfaces. Coat the painted surface with this product then cover the area with painters tape ensuring good contact between the tape and the painted surface. Wait for 30 min or longer which allows the product to penetrate to and soften the lowest layers of paint. Works well for ornate profiles that are not amenable to sanding.

A+

Works ok

I bought a house recently the former owner built himself. The ceiling (upper left corner of photo) and most of the walls are wood. However someone painted the stair rails and trim in a flat dark rust color. I don't like it. I decided to strip and go back to the natural wood. It will compliment the not bright green much better. This stripper works great! I didn't notice it smelling that bad. You do only have a couple of minutes before you need to start scraping it off or it dries up. I used a dry paper towel first and then went over it with a clean damp rag. I think I will also use a wire brush going forward because there is still some paint in some crevices but that is not the fault of the stripper. That being said there is only one coat of paint on those. I am also stripping a chair someone painted in multiple coats of red paint I found in the garage I am stripping as well. You will have to probably do multiple applications to get through thick paint but you would with any stripper. The chair is after two applications on the back and seat. Very pleased.
