My first time stripping paint off of anything and I wanted a product that I could use indoors over the winter because, I purchased a vanity that had a couple layers of paint, plus the original dark stain. My goal was to get down to the original wood and then possibly do a danish oil finish.
I read online the choices for low-odor products and this seemed a good fit. I did several tests originally 1, 3 and 10 hour tests. I applied per instructions and waited 1 hour, then tried 3 hours and finally 10 hours before scrapping the product off. The product took off easily the first two layers of paint after 1 hour and removed part of the original stain after waiting 3 hours before attempting to remove.
In both the 1 hour and 3 hour tests, an additional spot application was needed in areas where the wood appeared to have absorbed more of the original stain than in other areas. The 10 hour test occurred because I was out of the house longer than expected, but there was no benefit in leaving the product on longer! however, it did not dry out and was easy to remove.
After removing the original layer of product, clean-up is easy with soap and water, which is a real treat. I gladly recommend this product.

What a great product! I just started my new hobby of refinishing old furniture and dreaded using the paint strippers I was familiar with - the toxic smell and burning if it comes in contact with the skin. It does the same job as the toxic brands with none of these problems. Another bonus -I can now use it indoors thru the winter without hesitation. I highly recommend Soy-Gel.

This product is totally AWESOME! No chemical smell, does not burn your skin, and really, truly, WORKS! It took me only 1/2 hour to strip two cabinet doors, including the hardware that I had painted long ago. I'm still blown away by how well this works. And since we have 3 pets in the house, I don't have to worry about the fumes. Oh, and another bonus, it is biodegradable. I just can't say enough about Soy Gel!

I volunteered at my military club to refinish their shuffleboard table. I had no idea urethane required its own stripper. A little internet work took me to Rockler, whom I had dealt with for years. Soy gel seemed to be the answer, so I ordered it. One quart should deal with 50 square feet and the table was less than that. The urethane turned out to be 1/8 thick in places. Long story short, the soy gel worked really well, but I have had to order another quart since the urethane is so thick. Also, the longer it's left on, the better it works. I came back after 24 hours and found it was still penetrating and easier to remove. Great product, I'll use it again in any similar situation.

Excellent but messy! Okay, so I am an amateur. I am refinishing a very old rocking chair which has been painted 8 times - 8 different colors - no exageration! It has been in my family a long, long time and I guess my ancestors loved to repaint it everytime they redecorated. I put the soy-gel on and left it overnight. It has sort of a fishy aroma but it is wonderful that you do not have to worry about dangerous fumes. The next morning 5 layers of paint scrapped off very easily but it is a gooey mess. I had a hard time getting all of the residue removed with a rag so ended up rinsing it with some detergent and the garden hose - there are lots of tiny and ornate spindles on the arms and back which were difficult. After it dried I applied the soy-gel again and was able to scrape off most of the remaining paint. This time I used a mineral spirit soaked rag to remove the residue and it worked very well. This stuff does a great job lifting old coats of paint. Maybe it is just me but I think that it is sticky and gooey and I was covered in it by the end of the first scraping. I might like using it better on a flat surface but on a rocking chair with lots of ornamentation - I was a mess! I think I had a problem clearing the residue because it was not dry. It remained wet and tacky well past an 18 hour period which is good for paint removal and bad for clean up. Overall it did a much better job without dangerous fumes than any other stripper I have ever used. I would buy it again if I ever get ambitious enough to strip another piece of painted furniture.

Awesome, simply awesome. I used Soy Gel to strip several layers of paint and finish off of a cherry staircase that I am refininshing in a house renovation project. Within minutes of application, it caused the old paint to bubble and was removed with no effort at all. Best of all, no odor!!

Soy Gel is awesome. It started working within minutes and saved me a lot of time, money and sandpaper. I was more than impressed by the results of a cleaned surface ready for a new finish. I usually sand my furniture with my palm sander but the fun of the noise and dust wore off. I read and compared different paint strippers and decided to use Soy Gel on a dresser that needed to be refinished. I was amazed how quickly this product worked- I applied it with a brush and within minutes of applying I saw the paint and varnish start to bubble. I removed the old finish with Soy Gel, a plastic scraper and a stripping pad. The surface cleaned off easily with just water and a damp white rag. It has very low odor and was extremely easy to use. Thanks for a great product. It made my life easier.
