Dumond Smart Strip Advanced Paint Remover - For Removal of Acrylic, Latex, Oil, & Water-Based Coatings - Non-Caustic Formula - Indoor/Outdoor - Contractor & DIY Friendly - 1 Quart

At first, I was skeptical about the product's effectiveness due to its appearance. However, after reading the instructions and applying it as directed, I found that the paint remover worked exactly as described within an hour. The product offers great value for the money and delivers excellent results. Highly recommended.

This works wonderfully even stripping painted hardwood floors. I had been sanding the floors by hand, but decided to finish up the sanding with getting rid of the paint first with this product and to my amazement it works wonderful, and I didn’t even have to buy their paper that goes along with it, which is an additional great cost. I first tried wax paper because some people had tried wax paper, but honestly saran wrap has worked wonderfully! You kind of scrape and fold the paint onto the saran wrap as you’re going. There’s no smell and it was easy to use and the stickiness you have to wash off when you’re done stripping but it’s very durable! A note of importance, I put this down at 77° for an hour, and it lifted off perfectly and a plastic scraper that I used was a little harder point than a little rounder that comes with it! One photo shows the amount of paint that I used in the saran wrap, the second photo is showing the paint gone with just the finish on the hardwood floors, which is a little reddish! So you can see it it’s lifted beautifully.

Pricey, but works very well. Apply fairly generously and cover with plastic wrap (food wrap). We let it sit for 2 - 5 hours. Mind the chemical burn hazard of this stuff - gloves & safety goggles at a minimum- long sleeves and nearby rinse water recommended.

This stuff works like Magic! I’ve never used anything better. We are using it to refinish the wood walls in a Midcentury modern home we purchased. There is A LOT of wood to refinish, with layers and layers of oil, dirt, and assorted finishes to be removed. (Dating back to 1950 when the house was built.). We have tried Klean strip premium- which claims to be effective within 15 mins. Also tried the citrus strip. Neither of these products has come even remotely close to the result that smart strip has provided. After an easy wipe down, the wood is very clean. The other products left the wood in a sticky, gross and unmanageable mess! As a last ditch effort we decided to try smart strip and for the first time, it feels like we will definitely be successful! We initially tried sanding, but even that wasn’t working! This truly has been the answer. We hadn’t tried the dumond paper or Saran Wrap, but are going to incorporate that now as well! Either way- the smart strip alone has proven itself. Thank you!

Did not remove paint as expected. It did remove some layers of paint, but left a large amount of paint behind even after covering with the recommended laminated paper for 24 hours. I would say it doesn't remove layers of paint as advertised.

I used this to strip multiple layers of paint from my driveway. It works very well. However, you do need to put a fair amount down to cover the paint. Approximately an 1/8" to 1/4" of product on top. Let it sit for at least five hours. Also, it's important to stay within the 24 hour window. I let some sit for longer than that and it became less effective. I pressure washed my off which worked fine.

I really think this is a 5 star product in the right applications. I was trying to strip 2 coats of paint, and one coat of carpet adhesive on top of the paint on a concrete floor. I think it was applied correctly as I rolled the product on using a thick nap roller. You MUST use it as a very thick coating. One gallon should get you around 80 square feet at proper thickness. I let it set for 24 hours under the special Dummond laminate paper per recommendation. The combination of paint and carpet adhesive did not come up easily when the paper was removed as indicated. I used a long handled floor scraper, but in the end it was a thinner putty blade that was more effective in conjunction with a power washer. I will need to buy another gallon, and repeat the process to get a completely clean concrete floor for my porcelain tile installation. Hope this helps and good luck.

This one doesn't work well. Used this exactly as directed, then tried again with a plastic-wrap cover to prevent drying (as suggested elsewhere). I left it for 3 hours and it barely removed the top coat of paint (there were only 3 total paint layers). I then put more on and left it overnight and it turns into a sticky glue-like substance that is very hard to remove, and the paint remained intact. To make sure it wasn't user error. I did a side by side with a different but similar product and treated both the exact same. I left them both overnight covered in plastic on similar sections of the same door. That product worked easily and well, this one did not
