VERY GOOD SMELL NOT SO MUCH
4 out of 5 stars
VERY GOOD SMELL NOT SO MUCH
Okay. So first off I want to say that when I received it I noticed how small it was (next to a pen for reference). I had more than enough I just I guess it would have been more for the price. To me it’s a little overpriced. Also it looks orange on the website but is actually pink.I did a test run on a small area after waiting 30 and it came out pretty okay.For all the warning on the bottle I have to say it wasn’t as dangerous as I did skip a few precautions and as long as you wash it off immediately you’ll be fine. I mean your skin might peel for a bit but it isn’t painful. I mean not that you should be irresponsible and use latex gloves on a latex paint remover like I did I just didn’t have rubber ones and I wanted this done. You could react differently so be safe. All I had was a thin amount of skin peeling off my finger and my palm where the glove broke.The gel was very sticky and thick. I used like half the, again pretty small, bottle. But it got the job done. It didn’t leak anywhere which was appreciated so I could put it where I wanted.After the test run I covered the entire area I needed with the product and put plastic over it. I let it sit overnight as per the instructions and scraped it off in the morning. No it certainly did not come off easily (it took hours) but it did the job. If this was a spray, an effective spray, it would be more easier to apply but it isn’t. Applying the gel was still pretty easy (1 pour gel, 2 smooth it out 3 hurry and take off the latex glove off) but the scraping off? 🙅‍♀️I did have an area where I put a resin based wall plaster on the table (trying and ultimately failing to get a smooth finish) and I wasn’t sure if it would be able to remove it. But lucky me because it came right off.After scraping it is absolutely essential to have a toothbrush and a rag it you want it to look clean. Maybe you could was it off with a soapy rag instead but for my it was a lot of scraping with the toothbrush, wipe with rag, more scrubbing, the more wiping, quick enough so what it scrubbed off doesn’t dry back on. And the areas of the rag must be clean enough not to smug the paint mixture back on.And voila! A effective removal!Mmmm… okay so a job well done? Why four stars and not five?THE SMELLI do not care if there are no harmful fumes when it smells that bad. Reminds me of blood and had me sneezing all day!! Would be absolutely wonderful if not for the smell.TLDR: kinda small, pink, scraps off decently, don’t get it on yourself, scrub w/ a toothbrush, and BEWARE OF SMELL!

    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

    I am currently doing a project with an ancient dresser (estimated to be a century old, judging from the old locks), and needed to be stripped. I bought this to solve the stripping issue without spending money and time on my sander. After having stripped the drawers, I think I can honestly give the review.

    Pros:
    - It's fantastic at removing the paint, if you follow the instructions. Apply liberally, wait at least 30 minutes, and the paint can mostly just be wiped off. I used a paint scraper and it slid like it was on ice, and the paint came off. It was like a squeegee removing mud off a windshield.
    - It is nice smelling, like oranges. I'm doing this inside, so that's a major plus.
    - it works even on old paint, and the result makes it easy to see it worked.

    Cons:
    - You may have to apply more than one coat to get rid of tougher spots. I had this issue, but a simple reapply works. Minor inconvenience.
    - It can be quite messy. Make sure to put plastic or such under it, and wash your hands after, or better yet, wear gloves.
    - You might need a scouring brush, or similar to get off residue in cracks. At worst, keep a sander and dremel tool handy, but let it dry off.

    All in all, very satisfied, and hope this helps people who had issues. It works great, just be patient and let it do the job. In fact, I found I need more and ordered a second bottle.

    Works good as far as no smell and does take off paint but makes it gooey and then when you scrape good off you see some paint. This leftover paint can be sanded though. In order for it to work good you need to cover it with some saran wrap so when you take this off, it’s definitely gooey.

    The previous owner of our place installed a metal awning that was functionally sound, but when he painted the house neglected to use a tarp. The awning was covered in paint splatters, many thick, that had baked on over numerous summers. Even though outside I didn't want to handle a commercial grade super caustic stripper. Yes, they work faster, but I like to stay away from strong, fumy chemicals. ("Fumy" is a valid Scrabble word btw.)
    So I applied this stuff, and covered with a cheap plastic painting tarp overnight...like the directions mention. Next day, voila, the paint splatters scraped off like a hot knife through butter. Applied a fresh coat of paint and the awning looks like new.

    It takes a few coats but it starts to work within 30 minute's.
    It’s not messy and it covers your item very well It does have an odor but not overly strong. I would definitely wear a mask and gloves when applying and scraping it off. One video suggested putting plastic over your item for 24 hours, I did that but I didn’t really feel there was any difference. I had to put more on the bottom of the legs and let it dry for an additional 30 minutes with no plastic and the paint came right off. I used a putty knife to scrape it off. It is pretty gummy once you start to scrape it off and leaves some beads of it on your item. It is pretty thick, like gelatinous texture. When it dries, wiping it with a wet towel cleans it up very well. I will definitely buy this again and the price is affordable.

    I live in California. Nuff said!! They passed a law that banned my regular paint stripper so I had to find something new. It turned out Citra strip worked great. No obnoxious fumes, can work in closed area and its a gel. Use a paint brush to apply a coat on the surface and walk away for 1/2 an hour. Clean the surface with a scrub brush and then soap and water and let dry. I stopped using any other strippers.

    I've never been that impressed by paint stripper as none of it is really up to the job if you've got more than a couple layers of paint. It's harder work but I generally go with a hot air gun.
    That said, this is reasonable stuff and thinned out a few layers before I hot gunned it. It's pretty good as paint strippers go but the adverts always look more effective than reality.
