Sunnyside Corporation634G1 Paint & Varnish, Gallon, 2 Minute Remover Advanced Gel, 2 Pack

Great at removing paint quickly. You did have to use a lot of the product to get it to work well. Works in 5-10 mins. Will not strip varnish, I used 3 applications and still didn’t take off the glossy finish.

I saw this product on YouTube and bought it. Huge waste of money. After hours of trying over and over again, it does not work. I tried spreading it and waiting.. tried spreading it and then covering it with paper towels and adding more of it on top of the paper towels and then covering it with plastic, then tried only spreading it and then covering it with plastic... nothing works. I believe if you have raw paint, it may remove that.. but if you have a varnish or clear coat... it does nothing. After multiple attempts, I then used a high pressure pressure washer. When you point it directly at the paint, some places the paint kinda comes off, but only barely... I spent about 1 1/2 hours trying to get as much paint off as possible. Got about 10% off... then I gave up.. I paid for the paint remover so I wouldn't have to do this.. My order came with 2 gallons and I can't get my Money back. I am disappointed.

With the ban on methylene chloride, this is probably the best you can get. Nothing strips paint off like methylene chloride, but since you can't get it any more we're stuck with second best. This stuff took off some ultra thick polyurethane on a cabinet humidor pretty easily. I did have to apply it two or three times to get it all of. I also had to wrap the area in plastic wrap. Leave it for 2 hours. Come back and the finish came off easy with a paint scraper. It's work.. but this does better than anything else I tried.

Didn't seem to penetrate the two layers of deck over paint on my concrete pool walkway, before drying out. I plan on putting it on thicker and covering it with a plastic sheet to keep it from drying out and giving it more time to penetrate. I discovered it works pretty well IF 1) you put it on thick - 2 to 3 times the thickness of what you're trying to remove; 2) Wait an appropriate amount of time (depending on thickness and temperature/humidity) could be 10 minutes to 3 hours) - if you see it drying out, you've waited to long; 3) scrape it off with a sharp scraper.

I used this to strip old varnish off a 100yr wood floor. The first thing I learned is I got nowhere using 2 mins so I toss that idea out. 4 minutes is more like it. It also required a second coat in many areas. The fiumes were not bad. Do not let this stuff dry out or you just wasted your time and stripper. I put the gel on thick, and used a plastic scraper to remove it. It's definitely not a case where you slosh it on and 2 mins later you're done. It's not that strong. Once I figured out a routine it went pretty well.

For a chemical based paint stripper gel I think this is the best on the market. It does work quickly, and the fumes are not so bad. The gel sticks where you put it and it’s very thick making cleanup easier. Highly recommend.

Reading previous reviews - There were questions as to do you actually receive 2 gallons, some reviews stated only 1 was sent. I just received my 2 gallons which is a great deal for the price. I find that the stripper works well on vintage radios. I do wear a respirator mask when using it.

Watched many videos on this product, and read many reviews. Looks like it easily removes wood varnish and stain. NOT SO. Absolutely worthless. Followed instructions to the letter, and it removed "some" of the varnish on my oak. Did nothing to the stain. Had some latex paint splatter on several pieces of oak, would not even loosen that! Had some old paint remover from one of the home centers and it did a better job (although not perfect) than this stuff.
