Review: It did not work great for me - unfortunatelly did not work well for me. Paint was not able to be fully removed and kind of got my wood dirtier and harder to remove the rest of the paint. It does not have a strong odor with is good though. Review: Be prepared for best results - I was thrilled by the overnight delivery and the size and container the product came in. The solution was smooth and went on fine. I was not previously aware that the product requires a plastic film over the product to keep it from drying out too quickly . I had to use wax paper since it was all I had available. I found it to be messy and a hassle. My project was a very tall and large sized wood closet. I think a smaller item would have been much easier and not so challenging by using film over the stripper instead of using wax paper. I was happy at first to notice no odor. There were areas on the closet with a texture spray over the base paint. It took a lot longer before it could strip off. The painted only areas stripped off easily. The longer the product was on a strong noxious odor occurred. I was in the basement and complaints from upstairs were heard about how bad it smelled all through the house despite the window I opened. In all fairness I wonder if the texture spray was creating the odor as it softened rather than the product. I like the water and soap clean up of tools. I look forward to experimenting by using plastic film next time and stripping paint only and see if odor does not occur. I expect much faster results using plastic film next time over common paint only. I found it to be a hassle. When I first began using the product I was delighted to notice no odor. It took quite a while before I could strip off the paint and by then I noticed a noxious smell. I was working in the basement and opened a window for ventilation. I wonder if the nubby texture spray over the base paint coat was the reason for the smell because it was tough to scrape off compared to areas that were only painted. The paint alone came off great ## Features - DESIGNED TO REMOVE PAINT AND VARNISH FROM MULTIPLE SURFACES - Remove Aftermarket Paints, Latex, Polyurethane, Shellac, Varnish, Acrylic, Oil Based Coatings and More in usually a Single Application! - EASY TO USE WITHOUT CAUSTIC CHEMICALS - Contains NO Methylene Chloride or NMP.

I would recommend. **Q: will this adhere to a beadboard ceiling? thank you. fingers crossed...** A: You could try it as far as it sticking to ceiling it will but I don't think you will be able to keep the thickness you will need it will be dripping on the floor you would have to apply more than once. Your best bet is a heat gun **Q: I have an old fireplace mantel that's painted and about 90 years old. Don't know what kind of paint it is. but do you think this product will work?** A: NO, you need a product that will cling to vertical surfaces. This is very runny, and it is also very weak. I found it useless to remove layers of paint from 100-year old doors - even after removing the doors and laying them flat. After trying over a dozen different paint removers, the best I found for vertical surfaces is SmartStrip Pro. (Not the separate product, SmartStrip). SmartStrip Pro has minimal smell. It also does not stain or require any neutralization. I have been using SmarSrtip Pro to strip 100+ year old douglass fir paneling (both painted and dark stained) . I put it on about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, and cover with saran wrap. That helps it stay in place better, and seems to help it work better. Then I let it set for two days, and remove. Repeat once, possible twice. You are still going to have to scrape. After it has been removed, let the wood dry for 3 or 4 days before you refinish. As it drys, the wood color will lighten. There is no current paint remover that will remove paint in one go because they are all non-toxic. If we could still buy the old paint strippers containing methylene chloride you could have stripped it in less than thirty minutes with one application. Alas, to protect us, the government banned this so now we have the safe alternatives that are so weak it takes multiple applications to remove paint. **Q: removing 2 thin coats of paint off a fiberglass 14' boat. Can I use a power washer to remove stripper and paint?** A: this has not worked that well for be. i do not think a power washer can strip paint. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ It did not work great for me *by L***D on 11 August 2026* unfortunatelly did not work well for me.

No need for use of a respirator with this product. May need more than one application to thoroughly remove polyurethane. ## Frequently Bought Together - MAX Strip Professional Strength Paint and Varnish Stripper - 1 Gallon - Strips Paint, Latex, Polyurethane, Shellac, Varish, Acrylic and More - No Methylene Chloride No NMP Powerful No Drip Gel Formula - Putty Knife, 4Pcs Spackle Knife Set (2, 3, 4, 5 in), Stainless Steel Paint Scraper, Taping Knife Tool for Repairing Drywall, Removing Wallpaper, Applying Putty, Plaster, Cement, Adhesive - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/439422307-max-strip-professional-strength-paint-and-varnish-stripper-1-gallon](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/439422307-max-strip-professional-strength-paint-and-varnish-stripper-1-gallon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
