20 Paint Stripper 500ml, Paint Remover. Water Based Solution to effortlessly Remove Paint and Varnish from Wood, Brick, Concrete, Metal, uPVC, Glass and More

I used this to remove paint from some plastic and resin miniatures. It is hands down the best I've ever used. Others I've used have been good but I find them being liquid made it a bit more difficult with clean up and also wastage. This however requires very little and works so well. In fact, I accidentally dropped some on my cutting mat and it lifted the design straight away! This isn't a complaint, as my mat is very dirty and messy after so many years of use, but it showcased the fast acting nature of this stripper. I didn't leave it on very long as I had resin in my models and I read online that it may make resin slightly soft. Even so, it was strong enough to remove the paint within a handful of minutes. I did this twice and it stripped the model straight down to bare plastic, no damage to the resin. And with these quick dips into the pot, with the paste sticking to the model, i barely used any. My only slight criticism is that the price was high compared to other companies, however the Prime delivery for me balanced out the extra costs of delivery and speed elsewhere. But despite that, the 500ml pot is more than big enough for my needs as I don't strip all that often in reality. Highly recommended! Edited to add: clean up was easy too. Seems to dissolve/dissipate with hot water. I used cooler water because of the resin and it took a little longer to clean off, but with running water and an old tooth brush to agitate it came off pretty easily.

Superb product. I highly recommend this product for the tasks I used it for and it is reasonable to assume it will be just as effective in normal paint stripping tasks. It resembles gloopy white milk or yoghurt and has almost no smell. There were no chemical fumes or nasty skin burns either although I did wear nitrile gloves to be safe. Its water based and as far as I am aware, environmentally friendly but I advise checking this. I used it to strip several layers of acrylic paint from plastic wargames vehicles and it did so without any harm to the plastic. I found brushing it on using an old 2" brush was more economical than dunking the items and they cleaned up perfectly after a second application. Somewhat to my amusement, this had the handy side effect of stripping dried paint from the old brush itself and after washing the bristles were smooth again! I used it a second time to remove a mix of acrylic and enamel paint from old lead based and pewter miniatures by dunking them in and got the same great result. It didn't even harm their plastic stands although it does seem to dissolve dried superglue to I recommend keeping a close eye on any glued-on parts if that’s what it’s being used for. It also softens some modelling putty so I advise great care if using it to clean up a heavily filled model. Photos of the paint strip of the wargames vehicles attached to this review.

Not effortless at removing paint and stain in my experience, patchy results and creates a gluey mess at times, though I've not used it on a lot of different paint surfaces, mainly for removing surface stain. I like the fact it's water based, has no odour and can be washed off fairly easily. Results are good if you stick at it and, though it's a small tub, coverage is extensive - still seems pricey for the amount but I was happy to get a second tub due to it being water based.

Excellent Product, Have used other paint strippers, but ones that were solvent based, not an environmentaly friendly water based one, But started to soften n bubble paint in no time, about 3 mins, within 45mins had car wing which paint had reacted, stripped by blasting it with hand held pressure wash gun. Within 4hrs wing was sanded right back to bare metal, etch primed, Undercoat primer,, and by evening, wet n dry sanded, and final coat of grey cellulose primer wet n dry'd to harden off overnight ready for Basecoat Green colour. Excellent Product,,Would Recomend!! Further to the above, this is the same wing that reacted and was stripped that day, this is a day later. Sanded after stripping Paint, cleaned, base coated Green pearl metalic, and then top coated within the day with Noval Laquer, Job done, wing back on, Brill finish!! No Residues affecting post crazing. Brill stripping agent, def recomended for top jobs.

It was OK. The product is easy to use. I was using it to strip plastic miniatures. I soaked the models over night, and then next day using old toothbrushes. As you can see from my photos, the results were mixed. For acrylic and enamel paints it worked wonders. Some look like brand new and the paint simply slid off. Whilst others had been undercoated, and i don't know what this undercoat was made off, but it was very stubborn and the stripper made little effect. Another comment is that the stripper is quite gloopy and takes a bit of time getting rid of all the residue parts off the model. Fortunately i have an Ultrasonic cleaner and just put the models in that with a bit of degreaser and that got all that off very easily. But without that i suspect a few extra minutes needed thoroughly brushing it off. What is fantastic is that it does zero damage to the plastic models which is great. Overall it is very good, but obviously not all types of paints come off using this stuff.

I am baffled by the reviews here saying that this product doesn't work. The only way this can fail is if people apply it too thinly. It needs to be applied with a paintbrush, and a good thickness -- kind of what you would consider way too thick if you were applying paint on wood, for example. Do a little test patch first, you will see how thick you really need it to be. I only expected it to remove one layer of paint, but in one go it melted 4 layers of various types and ages (recent water-based wall paint, recent primer, very old gloss, very old primer) like it was butter. It is not the easiest product to use, I will admit. It's a thick liquid so it is fine on horizontal surfaces, it is a little runny on vertical ones, and it really is the B-word if you have to use it on upside-down places, like a ceiling or the overhead of a door frame. The product is also white, so again it really is the B-word if you use it on white-painted surface -- very difficult to see where you've applied it already. Last but not least, it leaves an awful sticky mess which needs to be scraped all off! That being said, it works 100% of the time. If it doesn't, it's because people were either stingy with it or didn't leave it on for long enough to work. Also, get yourself one of these Stanley professional Comb ShAVehook 0 28 824 , it's an excellent little helper.

I appreciate that others have rated this highly, but I found it absolutely awful on a varnished pine table. It stripped most of the varnish, but needed three applications, but by far the worst aspect was trying to get rid of the residue. It most definitely is NOT water soluble as suggested in the instructions . Hot water and detergent helped, but in the end I resorted to white spirit. . . Sort of defeats the eco friendly bit!! I would not use it again.

I have been trying different means of stripping paint from miniatures for years, from dettol, degreasers and soapy detergentscthrough to sonic cleaners. All require hours or days of scrubbing. I managed to 60% strip paint from 5 models, in minutes, with RESIDUE of this stuff that was on my rubber gloves. This stuff will annihilate acrylic paint. This is the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie of paint strippers. I was amazed at the results! I will say it's NOT odourless, and it did start making my eyes a bit itchy until I opened the window. The smell lingers a while too, but then this stuff doesn't seem to dry out. 😄 It's savagely efficient but treat it accordingly- use rubber gloves, and do it somewhere like a utility room or garage if you can. As long as you're respectful of it, it will destroy paint on plastic like you wouldn't believe. Definitely getting more when this runs out!

Als ich de Bestellung aufgegeben habe. Habe ich nicht viel erwartet. Doch es ist wirklich toll. Die Farbe geht wunderbar ab, egal ob Fliesen, Fenster u.s.w nur bei Holz muss man vorsichtig sein. Es frisst sich in das Holz rein.

Très bon produit, Je fais des travaux dans mon appartement et le gros avantage de ce produit c'est qu' il n'a pas d'odeur Jai essayé d'autres mais ils ne sont pas aussi efficace et l'odeur des autres produits finissent par vous monter à la tète Je suis très satisfaite et j'en ai recommandé

L’ho usato per rimuovere la vernice dalle miniature di Warhammer ed ha funzionato perfettamente. Ho immerso le miniature per una decina di minuti e con uno spazzolino sotto un getto d’acqua la vernice è venuta via. Sono tornate come nuove. Lo consiglio.

lo ho usato sulla plastica è riesce a togliere la vernice bene solo se l'oggetto viene chiuso in una busta di plastica propio come raccomandano loro,,vieni tutta fuori facilmente,,,

Estaba restaurando una cómoda y no quería cargarme la madera lijando como un loco. Apliqué el Biostrip 20, esperé a que hiciera su magia y vi cómo la pintura se iba bufando sola. Es súper cómodo de usar porque no gotea una barbaridad y cunde bastante para ser un bote de 500 ml. Si buscas algo efectivo y que no sea una bomba química, este es tu producto. Inconveniente: hay que tener paciencia y dejar actuar Ventaja: se quita con agua.
