PeelAway 7 Paint Remover 750g

Amazing

I’ve used this product before and it is very effective however this one arrived without the spatula and less product inside than expected as only half full. Amazon refunded and said to keep the product, so that was good.

I carve and restore village signs that are painted and this stuff is brilliant at getting into those 'hard to strip places' revealing the detail. I've used it on a number of these oak signs and it doesn't damage the wood. It lifts multiple layers of paint in one go. No it doesn't all stick to the cover but the remains come away easily and can be washed off and scrubbed with a tooth brush on the most delicate parts. It's not cheap but I've learnt that you pay for quality. I would recommend it for any 'relief' carved wooden work.

First order never arrived, ordered another pot. When used it melted and dissolved not only the paint I was trying to remove, but also plaster under, liquifying, it was incredibly hard to remove and just became a total conglomerate mess, it has ruined the panel I was trying to strip, thankfully it was only a test panel for more work that I need to complete, but I think anyone needing this product would best be off using a standard paint stripper, it is clearly not what it advertises, and it certainly does not just "peel off".

In spite of a tester as explained, the paste has been on for thirty hours, appears quite wet as I peel away a sample small area. However, much of the original paint has come away over the stripped areas.I have kept windows ajar to increase airflow. It was quite warm when I applied it, but is now cool and damp.Am otherwise happy!

I bought this thinking it would work better than the cheaper messy ones. I was wrong. It does still smell, it doesn’t go very far and if you leave it on for longer than 2 hours it dries and is impossible to get off….even when covered.

Used to strip old paint from newel posts and stair handrail. Did the test as recommended, applied it with a brush and left it on for the time indicated by the test. A lot of scraping later it had only removed two layers of paint with a lot of residue - cleaned it off and applied a layer of No Nonsense paint stripper from Screwfix, did this until the job was finished. So all in all more of a faff than it should have been given the hype. Strangely the Peelaway7 has the same smell as the Screwfix No Nonsense paint stripper. Removing old paint is never an easy or quick job, from my experience with it Peelaway7 is OK, just not the wonderful product it's supposed to be.

I purchased this to strip white gloss paint off a cast iron Victorian fireplace.I found that it doesn't really peel away in the manner suggested, but it is certainly much easier to use than Nitromose or similar.I left some of it on for about 12hrs and some on for nearly 48hrs and there wasn't much difference in the amount of paint that came off.A lot of the parts of my fireplace are very intricate and it takes time to scrape the paint away - but it is the same time as I would have spent with any other method.What I did find is that if you squish it around a bit whilst the 'blanket' is still on, it seems to get into all the nooks and crannies which is a little bit of a challenge with the plastic application item supplied.Don't underestimate how much is needed, I under-ordered and will be getting some more.All in all, a good product, maybe not peeling away in the manner suggested, but it is so much better than Nitromorse.**Update - I ordered some more to do a second cast iron fireplace covered in a number of coats of gloss paint. I haven't much different to say from my first review, but what I have found is the company no longer supplies an applicator and after trying to use some of my own utensils, I have found it easier to use a small paint brush to apply this product. Due to the small intricate areas of the fireplace (same as the first one), it has been so much easier to squish the product around and into crevices with the brush.See before and after pics.
