Dumond Smart Strip PRO Paint Remover - Professional Strength Formula - Strips Up to 20 Layers of Oil, Latex, Acrylic, & Water-Based Paints, Varnishes, & Stains Usually in One Application - 2 Quarts

I've been stripping paint off of an old Victorian porch for weeks. When I saw this advertised I thought, what a time saver. Well the person who wrote description about it must have sent a miss print. Removes up to 20 coats of paint, should have said, removes up to 2 coats of paint ... maybe. I put it on extra thick, covered it with plastic and waited 20 hours to remove the paint. With a carbide blade scraper I went to work , nothing. Ok maybe one coat came off but that was it. So I scraped an area about 6x6 and put another heavy coat and waited another 24 hours. Took another coat off but nowhere near all of the paint. The container says it it the Pro version. I'd hate to see what the mere mortal formula does. This stuff sucks when trying to take off multiple coats of paint. My suggestion, get a heat gun with some elbow grease and do it the right way.

Worked well. No smell. Not all that messy.

I used it to remove paint from a concrete floor. Did a good job removing the paint but left a residue so bad we had to repaint the floor to hide the residue. Used everything from water to a pressure washer to applying mineral spirits but nothing would remove it. Buy kleen strip instead.

It does soften the epoxy- so if your power washer is good- then you can clean it off - for some areas I had to use a really tight nozzle - 0% - and I only waited 6-7 hours- still worked well

Didn't perform as well as I hoped for concrete block that had previously been painted. The only benefit I seen compared to something like stripeze or one of the other strippers on the market is that this has little to no odor. The main downfall is it is very expensive compared to others.
