Review: Citristrip Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel Did it solve a problem or fill a need? Absolutely. I was facing the daunting task of stripping decades of old, chipped paint from a set of interior wood trim and doors. I wanted an effective stripper that wouldn't force me to evacuate my house due to toxic fumes. Citristrip filled that need perfectly, offering a powerful solution without the overpowering chemical smell. How was my personal experience? (Expectation vs. Reality) Honestly, my expec...

Works ok on easy jobs

Would Recommend

Citristrip is a decent product for small and easy jobs with 5 or fewer layers of paint. You have to put it on THICK, leave it on overnight, and cover it with plastic wrap. Don't let it dry out. Then spend the rest of your life scraping it off and wiping it down with mineral spirits. You can do it twice to get down to bottom layers, HOWEVER if you leave it on more than an hour or so the second time you could end up raising the grain of the wood! So user beware.

DON'T DO IT!

Would Not Recommend

Wish I had never bought this product. It made my project harder than it had to be. Says it is safe for use indoors but also suggests to use it outdoors. It is a harsh chemical and has nothing to do with citrus except and added smell that faintly resembles oranges. Didn't work well. I was trying to strip paint off old barstools. Applied the product liberally and left overnight wrapped in garbage bags. It was a huge mess to get off and left a ton of paint. After scraping the nasty gunk it leaves o...

Excellent product!!

Would Recommend

This is my latest purchase of this product. It works so well, has a pleasant smell and I can use it inside in winter without worrying about caustic fumes. It is very easy to work with and the results are amazing. I bought the 64 ounce size and that size lasts me a good while.
