          Best thing to remove old paint
          I first tried to use a heat gun and a putty knife to strip multiple layers of old paint. Very laborious and slow process.This stuff loosened 3 layers of old paint in a matter of an hour. As soon as you see old paint shriveling, you can easily scrape it off with a putty knife. Repeat to take off more layers. Then wait a day or two untill this stuff dries out and you can start painting or tiling.

            I think most reviews of this product are in error
            I am stripping the old paint off a 1949 cello. I was using Klean Strip and it was working fine. But I ran out and got Citrus Strip just to finish up So far everything I read about this product is wrong. It dries just as fast as Klean Strip and it seems like you have to use 3 times as much. I had to use a brass wire brush and apply it 4 times. It may not smell but the old paint coming off is like glue and does not want to wipe off. Had to use soap and water to get this stuff off.

              NEW FORMULA IS CRAP. DO NOT BUY!
              Previous to 2022 this product was amazing. However sometime in mid 2022 there was a change in the ingredients for the worst. 90% of all the good reviews are 2022 and previous,. However, since mid 2022 to current September 2023, 90% of all reviews are negative with 1 star. I never leave reviews, but please trust me on this one guys, or it will be a waste of your time, money and will destroy your beautiful wood.

                Do NOT get on your skin
                Some of the spray got in my glove. I thought it was sweat and didn’t flush with water and soap for two hours. Hand was numb for a day and the skin is still peeling everywhere on the hand now a week later. If it’s 97° with >80% humidity, you only need to wait ten minutes before scraping off. Nature’s heat gun

                    50 years of paint and varnish gone
                    Very happy with results. In the evening, I setup saw horses outdoors, laid panels flat, brushed on heavy, covered with plastic and let sit overnight. When I peeled the plastic off, a lot of the paint came off with it. I laid the plastic to the side and as I scraped, I placed it on the plastic to keep the mess down. Rolled it up when finished.

                      Simply awful
                      I just spent 6 hours stripping the front side of a metal exterior door. Worst product for the job. It does not say plastic wrap is a must. It dried in about 20 minutes while trying to wait the minimal 30 minutes for it to set. I used the whole bottle. While it did smell nice, I would use regular stripper if I ever decide to try this again. Total fiasco and waste of a day.

                          Cuts the time for my paint job in half!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought a table with chairs for my kids' playroom. Unfortunately the table came with varnish which made it difficult to re-paint. After much research, someone suggested that I try Citristrip paint and varnish gel. The Citristrip instructions were straightforward and easy to understand. The gel itself, was also pretty easy to use. I applied a generous coating on the table and chairs, then left them for about 24 hours. After waiting, it was easy to scrape the varnish off. I still had to sand the table but it didn't require alot of elbow grease to get the table completely smooth. With all the varnish removed, I was able to do only one coat of paint. Overall, I am very happy that I got this recommendation, because the Citristrip took hours off my project. I definitely recommend this varnish stripping gel and can't wait to try it on my other home improvement projects.

                            Results depend on the process
                            Used this product to clean a fiberglass door with multiple layers of stain and poly at a home near the ocean. After working with the product for several days, here are my recommendations: 1. Use light plastic to keep the gel from drying, then peel a small workable portion off to remove paint/stain/poly 2. After the thickest parts of old paint are removed, heavy duty 3M pads work better than scraping 3. You may need to do heavier sections more than once 4. Be prepared to use lots of elbow grease
