Thank you for doing all of the hard work for me. It's not only saved me time but also reduced the potential disappointment. I recognise all of the strippers you listed and have read the reviews on them. However, there is nothing more informative than actually seeing the process and the results in real time. I've used a heat gun for some of my (dismantled) doors but it's not really an option in an enclosed space when kids are around. So, thank you again.👏👏👏👏
You’re welcome! That was my goal, to make a useful reference video because the market is so flooded and a lot of the stuff isn’t great. So glad it was helpful!
Great video; very informative. Hard to believe how expensive all of these strippers are. I see it in my local shop too and the raw materials are really cheap.
Thank you for sharing your insights, it was real interesting to see the various results 😊👍 I’ve used Paint Panther and Eco Solutions for ages, but I think I might just give Paint Predator a go!!
Amazing, I’m so glad it was useful! Some paint strippers that didn’t perform as well can be really good for things like detail work, but the Predator was a real surprise!
Thanks for making the video. Im was surprised by paint predator as it gets pretty bad reviews online. I've gone for rhe Home Strip product as even though it wasnt the best in the video it still performed well and seems to be the best for the the environment.
Most of them get bad reviews really! A lot of people compare them to the older paint strippers that had stronger chemicals in them. PP is great for paint stripping a big surface area, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for all paint stripping. And some of the strippers that did badly in the test actually do a great job for other things. Im planning a video about it ☺️
Thank you! super helpful. I'm looking to strip the paint off a garden play house for my nephew. Do you on average how many of the paint predator 1L bottles I'd approximately need to buy to do the job? thank you. it is about 5ft x 5ft.
@@departmentofreinvention Thank you. most helpful. I really appreciate it. I'm just going to buy one litre initially and see how we get on. I've gone by your recommention as per the video so I'm sure it will be a success. Will report back 🤗
At 16.40, what is the paint stripper you use for stripping that particular piece off. I know you've done a lot of hard work but is there anyway you can do maybe a screenshot and add each square and what stripper was used when you put it in the middle of the square so we can see which paint went to which square? I have permanent chemo brain and trying to keep up with this video I got very lost
Thanks for this video, it's so helpful! Out of interest, do you think your recommendations would work on the removal of Osmo Polyx oil from engineered wood flooring? I have tried some paint strippers but cannot shift it. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
So Polyx Oil is designed to really soak into wood so it’s quite tough to remove. Your best bet would be to use a wax remover, there’s a few different ones available. Make sure to keep the area ventilated and work with a mask! And test it on a less visible area first.
@@JohannaWard-p9m no problem! Using a nylon scrubbing brush will help get it out of the grain too. Some people recommend wire wool, but if the wood is oak it can leave black rust marks.
if it isn't capable of messing you up then it isn't a good paint stripper its a paint stripper is supposed to be able to kill ya. As a decorator I can tell you that there all crap and very expensive

This is perfect! So helpful and exactly what I needed. Thank you for taking the time, effort and expense, so we dont have to! Much appreciated 😊
You’re very welcome! It’s something I was curious about so I thought I should share the knowledge!
Wish more UA-cam videos were this clear and helpful. Thank you!!
Could you share a picture of each container lined up next to their test strip??
Such a brilliant video! Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
In the final shot when viewing the stripped wood don't forget to label them but it seems the aerosols are the best way forward.
Great video; very informative. Hard to believe how expensive all of these strippers are. I see it in my local shop too and the raw materials are really cheap.
Thank you! Yeah some of them are unbelievably expensive
This is really helpful - thanks for such a great summary of VOCs and the harms as well. Appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
A useful video. Many thanks
You’re welcome!
I've always used Nitromors myself. Works well. However I'll switch it up after this vid
I think NM works well with reapplication, so it’s not a total loss. It’s also really good for detail work.
Geez!! Thanks a million! 👌🏻
Great video with great info. Thank you for doing all that research for all of our benefit. ❤️ much appreciated. 👏🏻👍🏻
That’s so sweet of you to say! Thank you ❤️
What a well researched video- very helpful

@@departmentofreinvention I'm going to be trying the Home strip today. I'm only stripping lacquer from an oak table so hopefully it will work.
Very helpful
Great video and I drew the same conclusion(s) ...

The guidance says 1 litre per square metre for the PP, but I would try scraping it first to see if that loosens the paint.

Hi! If you look in the video description, 16:40 is the Hycote paint stripper ☺️

Thank you so much! I've been trying to solve this problem for a year! I'll look for a wax remover then 🤞

Which one of these would be ideal for removing oil paint on a concrete wall ??🙏🏾
None of them! Try either Peelaway or Klingstrip for removing wall paint.
I have a red Chinese book slide and I cannot get the paint off to repair or clean any advice. I have tried several products
I’m not familiar with a Chinese book slide, what sort of thing is it?
Predator was the best?
In this test, yes the Fast action Paint Predator was the best.

That’s only available for professional use due to the Methylene Chloride, this video focuses on commercially available paint stripper.

Ahaha, you’re not wrong! Just trying to figure out the best of the ones that won’t kill me!
