Citristrip® Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel, 1 Quart

I purchased this product to create designs on insulated tumblers and for crafting projects, and it works perfectly. It has a great consistency, making it easy to apply without dripping, and the smell is pleasant, not strong or overwhelming. The product has good adhesion while working, staying in place without sliding or running, which makes the application clean and controlled. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do by removing the paint from the tumbler, allowing the vinyl design underneath to be exposed cleanly and precisely. The process is simple, and the results look professional. The size of the container is ideal for crafting projects, and a little product goes a long way. In terms of leakage, the container is well sealed and did not leak at all during storage or use. Regarding the quantity, it offers great value for the price, as it lasts for multiple projects. Overall, this is an effective, high-quality product with excellent value for money. I highly recommend it for anyone working with tumbler customization and crafting projects.

Saw citristrip on TikTok looking for some paint stripper for my bike. This stuff works super well! This image I used was after like 2min, without even being properly used, and it’s already peeling. Only problem I have is that it’s kinda stinky. Not strong, but it spreads everywhere. Can’t put my finger on it but it’s either a plastic or pee smell but leaning more to plastic.

I am pretty impressed by this stuff!! It was my first time using on a table where I just wanted to restain a very heavily top coated table. Pros: Works great and works quickly Spreads nicely so a little goes a long way Scrapes right off with a sharp blade or spackle knife Con’s: Definitely smells pretty strongly, I suggest going outside if possible! A little on the pricier side if needing to do large furniture Tip: the cling wrap helps keep the smell at bay. Ease of use:5/5 Removal of stain: 5/5 Smell: 2/5 Cost: 3/5

Great product. East to use and very effective in dissolving paint. Also has a pleasant scent.

I took a chance on this, hoping it would remove heavy black paint on the back of an aquarium. I tried scraping with a blade and it just was too embedded to work. I thought maybe because it was painted on glass. It would be easy to scrape off but it was not the case. It was so thick and had been on the glass for a long time. Probably years. So I bought this product and applied it with a paint brush. It says it should start working in 30 minutes and may take up to 24 hours. This stuff, once applied began to curl and peel the paint off within a couple minutes! What I thought was going to take hours to do took only minutes! I think it's a great product! It covered the back side of a tank that was 20x48 in. I didn't use barely half of the 1 qt. jug. And I applied it very thickly. Also, what was a pleasant surprise was that I was able to wash off the brush with soap and water! Although the instructions do not say to wear a mask, I will say there is a distinctive effect that is noticeable during the application. Although I can't say my lungs burned, They did feel a little weird. The scent is very acrid. It comes out thick like pudding and is easily and generously applied in one stroke. I don't think you will be disappointed with how powerful this stuff is. It was worth it for me!

I am refurbishing wood furniture and this stuff works great. My only concerns are that it takes a LOT to apply and I wonder how good it could be for the environment.

After reading Sandra's review about this stuff removing layers of paint from her mantle, I decided to give this a try. The people who sold us the house neglected to tell us that their recent paint job of the house was done with cheap interior paint. My driveway was grey when we bought the house. Within a year, much of it had flaked up to reveal several layers of paint, exposing a red driveway under the grey. I decided to paint it red again so if any more flaked up, it'd match what was underneath. There's a substantial crack that runs all the way across the driveway and it looks like they tried to fill it in with paint. I scraped off all of the loose paint that I could and was reassured by the liar at the paint counter at Lowe's that said that their driveway paint had a "sealer" in it that would cover the grey and red and the sealer would prevent it from flaking up anymore. The guy who painted my driveway told me the same lie. It took less than a week and one good rain to make the new paint come off with the thick paint underneath it. But it took off the red paint too, it flaked off all the way to the concrete. My new paint job was ruined. Now I've bought this. I put it on a small area last night and first thing this morning, I was out there with my scraper. I still had my doubts, but the paint just peeled right up. I wanted to come back in the house and post a review right then, but I was losing daylight and I had a lot of space to cover. I put it on around the edges of the thick painted spots and brushed off the rest of what was on my brush on the inside of the spots. Just that little bit from cleaning my brush seemed to do the trick. I've got all of the thick spots covered now and I'm letting it set. By tomorrow, I should be able to scrape up all of the thick layers of paint, then a quick power wash to remove the residue and I'm ready to paint a clean driveway free of the layers of paint. I've got cement crack filler for the crack and a spatula to make it smooth, but after 5 years of looking at my wretched driveway, I'm going to paint it red again, hopefully for the last time. I may need to order another jug of this, I wish they sold it by the gallon. With the nightmare of the driveway, I hadn't even noticed all of the drops of paint that cover my brick steps. I've never used a paint remover before, but I can't imagine one working better than this.

I was reading all the reviews about how it blotted the wood, but it didn’t happen at all. It only took 30 minutes, which is significantly reducing my sanding time. This is just a trial strip, so I might do my threads two a day. It started messy but you slowly get the hang of how to not make a mess. Super happy how I can get the old orange shiny polyurethane out in 30 mins. But to emphasize my intent was to strip the top coat as much as I can to prevent a lot of sanding, I achieved that result. It def did not strip everything there are left over coats here annd there and I used a carbide scrapper. So if you want to removed EVERYTHING it might not achieve that result with this product. I also just did 30 mins with a timer I have no patience.

Works as advertised. Smell is strong, I suggest wearing a protective mask

I’ve bought this for a craft project and I can honestly say that it does strip powder coating from bottles. My first go isn’t great but that was my fault not the product. Delivery isn’t the fastest for this item, I hadn’t realised it was imported, again my fault for not reading. Just make sure you allow time. It did arrive within the time suggested. *I was testing this on an old bottle already scratched so it looks rough. I also didn’t leave the vynal on for 24 before applying so fingers crossed for next time. *if unlike me you are using it for it’s intended purpose it works, not much odour snd a nice thick consistency for application.

If we can get past the north of the border markup, its a really good product. My purpose was to etch the duracoat off of tumblers (yeti) and it does this well, better than anything I can get local. Decent consistency, does run off the sides of a curved surface so you do have to make sure you prepare for that, but remained in place mostly for the 2.5hrs it took to do the job. Does smell quite strong, not really a citrus smell but a chemical one. I scraped off the excess and put it back so it should last a long time which is a bit of a saving grace considering the cost.
