Review on Smart Strip Advanced Paint Remover- Environmentally Friendly, Non-Toxic, Safely Strips 15+ Layers of Paint| No Foul Smells or Hazardous Fumes (1 Gallon) by Rodney Bullock

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Marketing louder than my results resulted in me losing 4 hours, wasting $53 on the product and peeling hardwood at the workbench.

Attempted to remove a 20 year old door and 60 year old molding. First, it smells like strongly acidic vinegar/formaldehyde - not sure if it's paint or thinner. The instructions say "Mask Tape is an Effective Block" - the gel got under the paint around the walls and also peeled off. I spent 4 hours applying and scraping it off - a very tedious and pointless process. As a result, he was far from perfect. A few drops of gel fell on the varnished wooden floor and it started peeling off no matter how carefully I covered it with plastic wrap or a tarp. around the work area. I can only give it a chance in a completely isolated place or something really old and worth preserving. for $180. Now I'm dealing with peeling paint around the door frame. Never again will I do a chemical strip on the spot. Regardless of the product, I have to say that the heat gun method is also smelly and tiring.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
