Effective emulsion remover
This is the first product I have ever used which removes emulsion effectively. This is much easier than sanding & steaming, hard work and rarely effective, and cheaper then re- skimming. At £10 for 3 square metres it is not cheap but I only needed 1 application to remove three layers of Dulux / Crown emulsion. Feels less toxic than other paint strippers. It does not remove silica based paints e.g. Keim which I use on some walls to let the breathe, as permeable to water vapour.

Exceeded my expectations
Worked much better than I expected. Applied on bannister and covered in cling film to remove varnish .Left for 45 mins and then reapplied . Washes off with soapy water and then sand down.

Definitely works!
I used this to remove multiple layers of paint and varnish from the handrail in my house. It took 3 hours in total. I was worried it would not work having read the previous reviews but i honestly didn’t want to use a heat gun not knowing what paint was under the layers (our house is 100 years old). Here’s what I found - if you apply it thinly it won’t do much other than feel sticky, if you apply it very thickly it will work wonders. The areas with the thickest amount of product starting bubbling and lifting the paint underneath within 10 minutes of application. I left it for 1hour. In the areas I just ‘brushed’ the product thinly not much happened so I reapplied and it was ready for scraping soon after. The consistency is like thick wall paper paste. You do have to plop it on generously like you’re making an egg and mayo sandwich and not like your painting. It does not slip off or drip which was great. There was very little to no smell. It didn’t hurt when it touched my skin. I ordered the smallest tub for my handrail (standard wooden handrail in a house) and I used 3/4 of it. The 3 hours consisted of applying the product, scraping off the layers of paint, washing the handrail down, sanding down and clearing up. This product, when used properly works and I would definitely recommend it. It’s so easy and satisfying.

Pointless
Ok so I bought this to renovate original doors for my flat. It claims to be odourless and non toxic and efficient. My thought process was why bother using my hot gun when I can just splatter this over the doors, wait an hour and peel it off. Plus I have 4 cats so the non toxic element was a plus. In reality this is useless for its purpose. The only plus is that it was delivered swiftly (mind you, I spent £22 to get the bigger pot and get a next day delivery). And it is non toxic and doesn’t smell. But that’s about it. Might have as well put moisturiser on my doors, it’s that ineffective. I put it on with a brush to make sure I got even and thorough coverage. Waited an hour. Barely peeled ( not even like when you peel off dead skin from a sunburn). It slightly bubbled in places but nothing to be impressed about. And yes I tried with a scrapper and the wired sponge they recommend. So I tried again, applying more, leaving it longer. Same thing. I thought maybe it will work better on metal so I applied it to the original door handles as someone had slapped paint all over them too, to see. Same thing a.k.a pointless. I eventually gave up because I had 2 doors to deal with ( I actually got a third one but at this point I am trying not to lose the will to live); I picked up my old hot gun and paint just came off like a dream. I really wanted this to work but unfortunately it didn’t. I lost hours and money I won’t get back. Might work on fine furniture to remove wax or light varnish but defo not fit if you need to remove layers of paint. NB: sorry I thought I had another picture to share but I can’t find it.

Good on some things, not on others.
I initially bought this to remove yacht varnish from a summer house floor and it did a very good job with absolutely no smell or stinging eyes etc. I then used it to restore an old painted stool and it hardly had any effect on the (water based) paint at all despite leaving it on for longer. The tubs are VERY small and don’t go a long way. For example, the 500ml tub will probably door one standard size door.

It works!
Brilliant! I originally bought this product due to the low price. I thought if it didn't work, at least I hadn't spent a lot of money. I purchased it in 2023, put it in the cupboard, and completely forgot about it until two nights ago. I am redecorating my hallway, stairs, and landing, and needed to remove 6 layers of gloss wood paint from my bannister (handrail). Armed with a paintbrush, gloves, and clingfilm, I went to work. It was easy to apply and did not drip. I wrapped as I moved down the stairs, applying the stripper generously. It has a smell, but it's not unpleasant or overpowering. Be careful not to get it on your skin. I absent-mindedly touched my face with my gloves, and the skin started to sting immediately. A quick wipe using cold water and everything was fine, no burn or marks. I left my bannister wrapped up with product for 24 hours, and the results were fantastic! Removal was as quick and easy as applying it. The stripper removed all layers of paint, and in places, some of the varnish on the wood. If you enjoy peeling things, you will love this part of the process. It was VERY satisfying! I am planning to do one covering, leaving for a few hours only, to remove the varnish, before I repaint it. I've attached some before-and-after photos. I highly recommend this product.

Sort of works
Sort of works, but not on red brick. I have tried numerous times, with different lengths of time and leaving it on overnight under cling film. It just doesn't work well on old paint, on bricks that have probably been there for over 20 years or more. Also the recommended stainless steel balls fall apart easily when rubbing on brick work. There are fumes, though maybe not the worst and it makes a bit of a mess on the bricks. I have feeling it may work well on smooth flat surfaces,

Not harsh like many others
I am not keen on paint stripping, because they can be very harsh. However I needed something for a delicate area, this one is amazing it worked really well, but without harsh ingredients, i found it easy &safe to use.

Results were mixed. Some areas it removed the paint well and then on a spot right next to it it just left a gooey mess that wouldn't scrape off. Used on old wooden staircase. No strong smell which was good.
