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

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.

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

Effectively removes oil based polyurethane but not as quickly as more volatile products. No need for use of a respirator with this product. May need more than one application to thoroughly remove polyurethane.

It didn’t work at all. Used a good amount but didn’t work. It’s lying Un refunded as it’s used. Works like a Temu product. All hype & no action.

Like the product. Had to use 2nd layer for 6 coats of old paint! Scraped off except small corners and detail. They just don’t make the old stuff with the stronger chemicals anymore, but the smell was pleasant with this one!
