Tools and Hardware Reviews of SOY-Gel Paint and Urethane Remover, Quart
Customer Review: Really does work!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, what a pleasant surprise! An eco-minded paint remover that really melts paint away? Amazing. I used the Soy-Gel to remove layers upon layers of paint from a fireplace in my old victorian house. As the package indicates, leaving it on longer is better. I painted it on with an old brush at night, and in the morning, the majority of the paint had peeled away, leaving me to do some minor scraping and clean up. For multiple layers, I recommend multiple applications. One quart went a long way for my fireplace. The smell is negligible and I didn't panic when I dripped some on the wood floor. Great product! Would buy again!Customer Review: Soy-Gel

This worked pretty well. I had to use several coats, it doesn't work with one coat only as in their description, so the quart definately doesn't go far. It has NO bad smell, doesn't BURN bare skin so that is great. It is expensive, and only removes layers after several applications, but it does work eventually. You do have to watch and check when to remove the layers, it depends on outside temp and number of layers. I waited 12 hours the first application, but it had already dried, and was difficult to remove, I had to reapply more, so watch and check every hour or so. It does remove easily when it is still wet.Customer Review: Worth every penny!

I am in the process of stripping paint off of tile in my bathroom that was beginning to peel. I bought Soy-Gel after reading reviews here at Amazon. This stuff is amazing. You have to really goop it on there and let it sit for an hour or more and the paint just comes right off. I had to buy 2 quarts to get the project done, and its fairly expensive, but if you compare it to how much it would cost to replace the tile or by using a strong, toxic stripper where I'd have to invest in gloves and masks and open every window in the house, this is totally worth it!Customer Review: It's like MAGIC

I have just used this gel to strip a painted brick fireplace. Three layers of paint bubbled off and practically melted away. Just lift the paint off with a scraper (no real effort required) and remove the softened paint from the grout with a wire brush.
It is almost completely odourless and I was thrilled to be able to use such a safe and EFFECTIVE product with a two year old around. I've been using Amazon for years but this is the first review I've been moved to write because I just can't get over how good this was.

I bought this as an alternative to sanding off lead based paint. I thought this would do the trick but was a waste of time. First you have to paint this gel on the whole surface and then you are actually supposed to wrap everything in plastic that you just applied the gel to - what a pain! After all this effort and 24 hours of waiting, it made some nice bubbles, but that's it. I guess you have to use poisonous chemicals to get the job done.
