Motsenbocker's Lift Off 411-32 Paint and Varnish Remover

This is a great product and anyone needing to refinish some wood projects it’s perfect works fast !! Kinda messy but it’ll get the job done ! Thanks

I am refinishing all my kitchen cabinets, and I am on my second bottle of lift off! for being a Water Based product it works fantastic and the Smell isn't unbearable as you have with most solvent VOCs. being water based it is also easier to rinse off and clean up.

I bought this product to strip varnish off a 110-year old door. It removed a shade of the varnish but not by no means got the substance off. I ding this product one star for not having made clear that it will not work for older varnishes, such as the one I was trying to remove (which may not have been water-borne). I ding it another star for the odor, which was quite unpleasant (like a very strong nail polish remover), and not "low odor" by any means. I ended up buying and finishing the job with another "eco-stripper" that was better and cheaper, with much less odor, too. If you're stripping an old varnish, go for an eco stripper that uses dimethyl-adipate. It will work much better than this acetone-based one.

Easy to use and better than anticipated.

Must agree with another review. This product does not work on older varnish, found it very messy, after three very generous applications with little results I read the label again for cleaning off the residual jell--nothing on the bottle. So thinking it's water based--must be water clean off. Got a pail of warm water, a little "Dawn" dish soap, 'if it cleans up the ducks--it's might work here', and a fine scrub brush proceeded to wash my walnut library table leg down then dried good and will proceed with chemical varnish remover. My opinion --- would not recommend this product especially if you are working with antique furniture. reading down through some of the other things folks have used this product for---I just might pull the bottle out of the garbage--you never know!
