Tools and Hardware Reviews of Soy Gel Paint and Urethane Remover / Stripper - 1 Gallon
Customer Review: INCREDIBLE
Summary: 5 Stars
This stuff blows away the competition!! I've tried various other brands- Peel way, Citrasolve and 3 other smelly, messy and less effective ones. SoyGel is easy to apply, ( on both vertical and horizontal surfaces) strip and best of all, eats layers and layers of paint with only one application. . .Great for old house renovation where lead paint is a consideration as any post stripping sanding is quite minimal.Customer Review: This stuff is a different dimension...
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, the shipping was quick. And since the USPS was able to ship it overseas to an APO box, it isn't that dangerous.
Second, very low odor, no irritation of the skin or lungs - a big difference from methyl chloride, MEK strippers.
Third, water soluble. I haven't noticed any drying problems that wouldn't be associated with putting water on wood. And clean up is a dream compared to Zip-Strip, among others. I'd never put the rags in the washer otherwise. (They're clean.)
Lastly, it doesn't need continual watching. It stays wet while you have lunch! Seems to "re-activate" easily, should one have to wait overnight. I covered it with Saran wrap (which didn't dissolve) and went right to work in the morning.
I tested this on the paint used on refilled natural gas bottles. After ten minutes the paint looked new. After half an hour, the metal was clean. A light sanding and it was ready to paint.
I used a wet tooth brush to clean varnished window mouldings after 20 minutes with the stripper, and wiped up with a rag. After drying it was ready to paint.
Too good to be true...has to be. I am still skeptical, but ordering two more gallons ASAP. Hope this helps.
Customer Review: Removes Paint From Brick
Summary: 5 Stars
My boyfriend and I recently bought a house that has a brick fireplace that was painted. We really enjoy the warmth of a fire all winter long and want to put in a wood stove insert. We had a chimney inspector come and among other things flagged the paint on the fireplace as a fire hazard for the wood stove! I couldn't believe it.
I have to tell others what worked for us. After the removing process, we learned that there were 5 layers of paint on the fireplace! White, Mint Green, Creamy Yellow, Brown and another new layer of white paint.
I selected SoyGel becuase we needed to be in the house while it was working We did a test spot first to see how long we could leave this gel on before it hardened. Well it still hasn't hardened and the longer we leave it on the easier the paint comes off.
The first layer wrinkled up and peeled off just like a layer of latex. Looked kind of like Chewed Gum. The next 4 layers were easily removed with a small putty knife by scraping the brick.
Then we took a wire brush and brushed our hearts out to reveal some really nice red brick with a few black bricks throughout.
The process went much faster than I anticipated and we did apply the gel every time we were done peeling and scraping for that session. The more you put on the more effective it was.
It is very messy so make sure you have everything well covered.
Hope this helps.
Customer Review: Good for Teak
Summary: 5 Stars
Soy Gel was suggested to me as an effective way to strip and clean teak on a boat. It has been an outstanding product. Sometime I do 2 applications, but the results are good. I take it off after 20 minutes with scrapers and non-metal steel wool. Nice to skin and gel coat on boat. If I need more power I apply a coat of a one step cleaner as a final brightener to difficult areas.
Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
Soy-gel is the best low-toxicity paint stripper I have been able to find. It blows Citristrip away, easily lifting off multiple layers of paint. It also removes difficult-to-remove paints (e.g. milk-based). It comes very close to, and perhaps even equals, the effectiveness of dangerous methylene chloride strippers like Rock Miracle and Easy-Strip.
The product stays wet for a long time, increasing its
effectiveness.
It does cost more than twice what the very toxic strippers do, but it is worth it for the health benefits. You can leave it working in your house and not worry about being gassed to death while you go about other things.
