Biostrip 20 750ml Paint Stripper, Paint Remover, Remove Paint.

Lady 'stripper' - basic DIY skills but no more - needed to strip back paint b4 leaving current house - saw this 'panic in a paintpot' and thought it might just do the job.....brilliant - does just what it says in the reviews.....strips back paint a layer at a time without any toxic splashes or smell. Looks like wallpaper glue when first applied and after half an hour, nothing - thought 'useless' - 5 mins later paint suddenly began to blister and lift...amazing - top gloss coat came off easily - undercoat of tile paint (did say lady stripper with few DIY skills) more resistant but coming off and some areas completely clean now after 3/4 coats - found better to wait longer and the longer I waited the better the result. Only criticism, fine spray so difficult to get adequate coverage on wide areas and winder spray would have been better but compensated by spreading stripper with a brush...overall, quite pleased with sped/result etc and when adding nil toxidity/no smell or fumes to breathe in, yeh, am 110% happy.....just be patient with it and it works amazingly well - impressed and now happily stripping in kitchen all the time - but only paint, not self!!

Would like to review but due to the cheap and nasty spray attachment supplied which does not work. Have yet to get it out of the bottle

Kinda does what says -had to leave it on for a hour to get it to workVale for money?? Not so sureCan get cheaper products that do the same

My experience with Biostrip:- Stripped acrylic paint from plastics and white metal.- Did not damage or deform plastics or white metal.- Did not weaken glues that fuse plastics (N-Butyl acetate, etc.); plastic miniatures were intact.- Weakened glue on metal miniatures; metal miniatures were in pieces (desirable for me).- Required a 30 - 60 minute soak, followed by brushing to remove loose paint.- Thick and/or layered paint required two or three applications.- Hollow cavities filled with Biostrip; once inside it was difficult to drain.- Looks like white custard, discolours with use, and has a weak, inoffensive odour.- Water insoluble and cannot be diluted.- Did not stain my sink, bench or skin (though gloves were worn to avoid skin contact).I'll be using this product again, when I next have plastic miniatures to restore.- It's cheaper to buy the 750 ml spray bottle than the 500 ml tub.- For metal miniatures, it's cheaper to use strong nail varnish remover (~98% acetone) or pure acetone. However, acetone has toxic fumes, is flammable and can stain/discolour surfaces; Biostrip is probably a safer option.

Did a four poster bed in chalk paint and shellac - big mistake! The shellac holds dirt and lint and after a while just looks a mess. Got this product as it said it works, which it does, and it doesn't stink the house out. It isn't a miracle product, but it does work and you can wash down with water when done for the day. It's a huge mahogany wood panel bed, so I am just doing it bit at a time, starting with the dirty sections. It looks better already - better clean wood than grimy chalk paint - so just looks like a real shabby chic job or maybe a work in progress. Paint some on, I'm not using the spray, go do something else, come back, paint another coat on, go do some more something elses, then come back and scrape the paint off. Wash down with water (brings the residue off and a bit more paint), dry with a cloth and all is well, you can continue to use the item, in this case can make the bed and sleep in it that night, not discernible fumes.

Although the product works the "spray" function on the bottle doesn't, it it more like a very short squirt & I need a paint brush to spread it making the bottle obsolete & better to buy a tub

When this arrived in a bottle looking rather like sink cleaner I was apprehensive. Was this actually going to strip paint? Facing the trial was a door covered in thick brown gloss paint from years ago. The squirting mechanism on the bottle is not that effective, just shooting out blobs of white material rather than a spray. Used a brush to spread it around the surface, and after about 30 mins the paint was bubbling and scraping it off was simple. Right back to bare wood. It does smell chemically, but quite unlike the non bio kinds. It goes a long way, half a bottle cleaned off one side of a seven foot by two feet door. One thing that I did find was to cover the treated wood overnight, and the stripping was even easier.

After reading most of the reviews, I chose to buy the spray. I found that it is easy to use, but it is better to spray it near, on even onto the brush. I have been stripping wooden kitchen cabinet doors. Without this product one door took hours of sanding, and left me with aching wrists! Spray this on, leave it until the paint is wrinkled and it scrapes off easily. No fumes or smell! I tried the clingfilm as recommended by one user, but found it did not do anything in my case. Just leave the liquid fairly thick, especially in the edges and it scrapes off. It is going to save me a lot of time and effort.
