I used Peelaway to remove the paint from a cast iron fireplace. It took two coatings to get all the layers of paint off. I found it best to peel the cover off a little bit at a time, I scraped the worst of the paint and peelaway off. I then washed the exposed area with water and fine wire wool repeatedly until it was cleaned off.
This product was recommended to me by AI for a paint removal job. I'd never heard of it before and found it slightly difficult to use. It eventually got the masonry paint of an external wall, although it did take 2 attempts. Be aware that cleaning this stuff up after use,is a very messy job!
The only thing this would not remove was the very thick green looking gloss paint that was underneath the 2nd layer of paint. I even left the peelaway on for a week and although some of it dried out I spayed some water onto the peelaway and it came off without any effort, but this still did not remove this thick green paint.
Used it to cleanup gloss paint spillage on brickwork. Needed a good jet washing afterwards to be perfect.
As long as there is sufficient product used, as per advice, this is really effective, though almost black stain and varnish on old oak and elm floorboards are taking some effort. Windowframe paint is coming off really easily. Will definately buy some more when needed as I may not have enough for all I need to do. Almost odorless too so a great product.
The non toxic one was ok for new paint but not lead based. The no. 7 dealt with both but it either didn't set or dried out even though evenly spread and it didn't stick to the blanket paper when you pull it off.
Working well on several layers of paint and varnish on the woodwork in my house built in 1912. I have had to redo some small areas twice, however I expected that because of the number of layers and possibly my not being generous enough with the product
Looking forward to getting paint of my bricks try on 2 bricks and the paint just came of
I bought this product to remove some paint on the front exterior wall of my house. I left it for several days because it didn’t seem to dry as I had seen in online videos. After several days it still was not dry so we decided to peel it off and scrape away what we could. To be honest when we peeled off the plastic it didn’t seem to have worked. However on hosing down the wall and scraping with a wire brush, all the paint came away effortlessly. I would definitely buy this product again.
I’ve tried many paint strippers but this is by far the best one. I’ve used it to strip old vintage furniture and it strips that well I don’t always need to sand. Tried it on metal and it lifts the old paint straight off.
The wood finishes team were so helpful when I found this pot to be partially dried up and very lumpy. The tester pot worked very well on more modern wood and paint
I got asked to review my order and thought who the heck wood finishes direct is to google it and realised I bought some paint stripper from them ?, anyway I bought the paint stripper as the previous person made a mess of paining in my current property, so I have a pleasure of undoing their stupidness, the paint stripper is good works great on paint, but takes a few goes on gloss as 3 coats in I still have gloss where I dont want. But it's all good ?
We've bought a lot of PeelAway 7 over the last couple of months as we began to redecorate a recently purchased flat. I would definitely recommend for paint-stripping wood work and cornicing. We have, however, noticed some variability in the consistency of the Peelaway 7 poultice paste. Sometimes it's the consistency of butter-cream, sometimes more like a pudding and sometimes less emulsified. Am not sure if there's any difference in terms of performance, but it definitely handles differently when applying.
Stripped gloss off a textured brick fireplace in situ. Need to trial the most effective ‘leave-on’ time but once you’ve done some test patches and got it sorted, it’s straightforward paint and varnish removal. Textured brick I used it on, still required a thorough, but careful scrubbing with wire brush and washing down to remove paint stuck in the bricks dimples. Pleased with the result.
Not sure if I put enough of the paste on the brickwork or whether autumn temperatures are too low to apply but it just didn’t do anything to the paintwork. I found the spatula that’s supplied not being very good so I used my kitchen silicon one, that worked much better. Will give it a go on woodwork at home but for the brickwork it didn’t work in my case.
Product does exactly how it says on the tub. Easy to apply, and strips the paint a dream
It is wonderful - so much easier and quicker than many other more liquid products. I have used it extensively in my home renovation.
I have already supplied 2 reviews of this and a earlier order
Works well on a smooth surface but vey difficult to remove from rough brickwork
More effective in removing paint than other products I had tried.
This is the second tin I have purchased as you really need to put it on thicker and leave it a good 24 hours even 36 before taking it off. So I need two tins to finish the job (four sets of old French Shutters) But it does work well when applied liberally and given more time.
The first point I noted that it was not 10kg of product. I weighed mine and it was 6kg. I kept the product on the surface of the paint as instructed, and it lifted no more than 3 coats off. Reapplying didn't really have much effect and I had to go back to the blow torch and scraper to loosen the paint layers.
We were stripping 4 old 6 panel French window shutters in relatively hot 25C and above temperatures. The first effort trying to be careful about thickness and leaving for 20 hours was only partially successful leaving quite a lot of intricate work to do after removing sheets. Second door we put more on and left for 36 hrs. Much more successful but we had used pretty well all 4kgs and only done 2 doors rather than the 3 we were hoping for. Another 4kgs now needed
An amazing product that actually does what it says it does. We had a very large room with a terracotta tile floor that had ben painted some years ago with a very durable paint. Sanding didn't work, paint removers of every description didn't work, heavy floor sanding machines didn't work, absolutely nothing worked. Then, by chance we came across Peelaway 7 and it DID WORK. There's no longer a speck of paint on the floor and there's no hard graft involved. Nearest thing to a miracle I've seen.
The best paint remover on the market
Excellent product. Removed layers of gloss paint going back to 1930. No fumes, easy to apply and easy to remove all the layers in one go. Would buy again if needed. I would definitely recommend this product.
This product worked really well. Maybe could have been a little bit stronger, but overall I was very pleased
Worked well, still requires a bit of elbow grease and patience but gives a good result.
Have used Peelaway before and is great to work with...esp in older properties (mine is mid 1800s). It smells of almonds, isn't corrosive, like other well known pain strippers, and is kind to old surfaces. I used it to remove brittle vinyl silk off a lath and plaster wall.. so easy to apply, and with the blankets supplied, it was a reasonably clean removal. Ready to wallpaper now. ?
Non-toxic, does exactly as required and really easy to follow, even for us DIY novices!
This product does what it says on the tin. Had to remove layers of paint from punched stone and it did it in 3 coats.
I used Peelaway to take off layers of paint from wood and stone and it worked really well, I highly recommend it.
