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.

Worked like a charm! Strong smell but not too chemically… more citrus for sure. You need a thick layer, and then as soon as you see under the layer that your paint is bubbling it will all peel right off with a good plastic putty knife. Took off the paint and the layer of varnish over the original stain. Super pleased. Will use this for the rest of the piece for sure.

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

This was my first time stripping paint and stain from furniture and I'm not going to try another product. Was extremely easy to apply, just remember to really goop it on, don't just put a thin layer like you're painting or varnishing, REALLY GOOP IT ON. And do NOT let it dry; apply enough that a half-hour/full hour will remain wet and scrape it off, but it's useless if it dries. And definitely wear gloves lol. I did 2-3 sets and it got off all of the paint and a lot of the stain underneath. I'm not a fan of the citrus smell but it's not wholly unpleasant and it does go away. Be prepared for the hugest mess you've ever seen but on the whole this is definitely useful and efficient.

Worked ok (6 or 7 out of 10). Slow working.

Works great! I learned that I needed to saran wrap the dresser after applying the product to keep it from drying out. I had to do it twice but the dresser I got second hand had 7 layers of apint on it. So it did great. It was time saving because I attempted to just sand the fresser and it took me well ober 3 hours for just a small spot without this product. I covered the dresser wrapped it up and after 8 hours I started scraping it. Most of it just fell off when I moved the saran wrap. It smells much better then other products. Says you can use it inside but I wouldnt. Get good quality gloves and a paint brush you wont care to throw away. Avoid those sponge brushes. doent work with those.

The Citristrip Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel is a popular choice for DIYers and professionals looking for an effective and safer way to remove old paint, varnish, or lacquer from wood, metal, and masonry surfaces. What sets it apart is its citrus scent and low fume formula, making it more pleasant to work with indoors compared to traditional harsh strippers. This gel formula clings well to surfaces, allowing it to stay in place longer and penetrate multiple layers of finish. It works best when left on for several hours or even overnight, depending on the project. The product is also thick enough to apply easily with a brush and doesn’t run or drip much. Pros: • No harsh fumes — great for indoor use • Pleasant citrus scent • Effective on multiple layers of paint/varnish • Gel consistency clings to surfaces well Cons: • Requires longer wait time for deep stripping • May need more than one application for thick or old coatings Rating: 4.6/5

Hardly any fumes, thick consistency, and works great. It stripped some tough clearcoat off my alloy rims in just a few hours. Only downside is it's kind of expensive to buy if you live in canada.

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

Muy buen gel

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.

Great product, thank you!
