Love their wood products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We haven’t had the chance to use these new bottles yet for the projects that we are working on, but we are currently redoing many rooms in our home so I will update with new pictures as we finish. My husband has used both of these products numerous times in the past and he absolutely swears by them. He said that they make the wood so much easier to work with and has ever bought any other brand. So for those of you who are questioning it this is...

My number one pick!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great! I actually have used this one other time before on repainting a dresser. It’s doesn’t have a real strong odor. You brush it on preferably not an a hot day so it doesn’t dry out! Let it sit at the bare minimum 15 minutes. I found longer is better as long as it doesn’t dry out! Then depending on what you are working on you scrap it or pressure wash it off. It is super easy to use. It almost melts the old away. This will always be my ...

Good Size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good sized bottle with effective safety cap. Should easily be able to do half of my 10x12 deck. Have not had a chance to try it due to changing weather conditions but look forward to updating the review as it claims to be a safe, easy to clean, and low odor treatment.

Strips very well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wood stripper works just as advertised, be sure to follow instructions on the bottle and you will get the results you're looking for. It's easy to use, clear and easy to follow instructions. I let it sit for about 20 minutes before stripping and it worked well with that one application, so I was left with plenty extra in the bottle. This was great for my home project and I will definitely be using it for future projects I find to do around...

Does exactly what it says

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The previous owners of our house painted the back deck dark blue at some point, but never sealed it properly, so it was flaking off in some spots and just impossibly slippery in others - stripping it was one of those easy but deceptively laborious little projects we kept putting off. This worked great - we just followed the instructions on the label. Applied, rinsed off with a pressure washer, and then prepped afterward. It was genuinely very s...

Quick and easy diys

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this Valspar Fast Acting Wood Stripper on a small area on my deck and I was impressed by how fast it worked! Within about 30 minutes it had stripped multiple layers of old stain! Its gel consistency makes for both a quick and easy application and clean up. Valspar makes finishing little projects easy. *this product was sent to me by Influenster in exchange for an honest review.

Great product for home improvement !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Valspar Fast Acting Wood Stripper is highly effective for removing old finishes, paints, and varnishes with minimal effort. It works quickly, breaking down layers without harsh fumes, making it suitable for indoor use with proper ventilation. The gel consistency clings to vertical surfaces, preventing drips and waste. While it might need a second application for very thick finishes, it’s overall efficient and saves sanding time. Ideal for r...

Did not work well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put the wood stripper in my pump sprayer and sprayed the wood on my beams to the back porch roof. I let it set for fifteen minutes like the directions said and started spraying with my hose and using a brush. I am very disappointed that there was no difference.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed this to take the stain off of my hammock stand and garden bed. The current stain was peeling and looked terrible. I’m so glad I found this product so I could start from scratch. The odor wasn’t too strong, but I was working outside where it was well ventilated.

Worked for my project, May need more for paint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Valspar and Influenster for the chance to test this product in exchange for my honest review. I was nervous to use this as I’ve used strippers in the past that have a horribly strong odor. From the start of my project however this stripper exceeded previous experiences. The smell isn’t horrible which made for an overall better time. I used it to strip old stain from wooden steps, and while I did have to leave it on longer than the 15 ...

Fast work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works wonderfully it makes wood clean and took that stuff right off. Then I followed up with the wood prep of the same brand it made the posses of redoing my kitchen table and chairs go buy so fast.

Not effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No odor, but not really working. These photos are before, during and after using the product. I left it for 30 mins instead of 15 mins as Instructions. A little amount of paint came off after using enormous amount of water.

Great wood stripping product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Valspar products have never let me down. This fact acting wood stripper was great for a project to use before painting and re-staining our kitchen island. It works great! The odor is what you would expect from a product like this but not too bad if you use a fan to keep your space ventilated. It goes on easy and is full coverage without having to use multiple coats.
