All Purpose Paint and Varnish Remover, Paint Remover for Wood, Metal and Masonry, High-Strength Paint Stripper with Colour Indicator, Non-Drip Paint Remover Gel, 1 x 750 ml Tin

For normal paint stripping, especially for thick layers of oil-based paint, this is the best stripper I have found and I have been using it for years. It does not work quite so readily on varnish applied directly to bare wood, especially soft woods, but they absorb the varnish more readily so you ould expect that. You will never get back to the bare wood wiithout sanding. However, it all depends on your project and the sort of varnish originally applied. I find some varnishes I cannot get rid of actually seal the soft wood so I can get a lovely soft, rustic finish that I like, and the varnish residue helps a lot when applying wax for a natural-looking finish.

Great

Didn’t work as well as it should for being this strong

It didn't remove the paint like it used to and the cheaper paint strippers did slightly better.

Known brand. Does the job.

I bought this to remove the varnish from a wooden boat. I had got 90% off using a heat gun and scrapper. I thought this would remove the thin layer that was left. It never touched it. Utter waste of money.

Followed the instuctions and i was disppionted with the product. Used the entire tin and did not do the job it was meant to. Only reason i gavea 2* was it arrivwd on time.

Good quality paint stripper
