My goal was remove paint from a RTIC Tumbler as the paint was starting to chip off. I covered the tumbler with the gel, wrapped it with cling wrap, and let it sit overnight. The next day, I unwrapped the tumbler and the paint litterally fell off as a single piece with no force other than gravity except for the bottom of the tumbler which I missed. Incredible especially because RTIC discontinued their stainless steel "color" of tumbler which is my favorite. It smells great and could easily be the first overall pick on Pardon My Take's mount rushmore of "non-edible things that look delicious". Seriouslsy though, wear gloves and be sure to wash thoroughly after. I'm sure these chemicals are nothing to be trifled with. Review: THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS ON STUBBORN PAINT - I took a chance on this, hoping it would remove heavy black paint on the back of an aquarium. I tried scraping with a blade and it just was too embedded to work. I thought maybe because it was painted on glass. It would be easy to scrape off but it was not the case. It was so thick and had been on the glass for a long time. Probably years. So I bought this product and applied it with a paint brush. It says it should start working in 30 minutes and may take up to 24 hours. This stuff, once applied began to curl and peel the paint off within a couple minutes! What I thought was going to take hours to do took only minutes! I think it's a great product! It covered the back side of a tank that was 20x48 in. I didn't use barely half of the 1 qt. jug. And I applied it very thickly. Also, what was a pleasant surprise was that I was able to wash off the brush with soap and water! Although the instructions do not say to wear a mask, I will say there is a distinctive effect that is noticeable during the application. Although I can't say my lungs burned, They did feel a little weird. The scent is very acrid. It comes out thick like pudding and is easily and generously applied in one stroke. I don't think you will be disappointed with how powerful this stuff is. It was worth it for me! ## Features - CITRISTRIP - Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel - Citrus scent - No harsh fumes - One quart ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07LF8T6PM | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,567 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #6 in Paint Strippers | | Brand | Citristrip | | Brand Name | Citristrip | | Capacity | 1 quarts | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 10,777 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00751664008016 | | Included Components | Citristrip - QCSG801 | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Type Name | Citristrip - QCSG801 | | Item Volume | 1 quarts | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | WM Barr | | Material Feature | Unscented | | Material Features | Unscented | | Material Type Free | Methylene Chlorie Free, NMP Free | | Model Number | Citristrip - QCSG801 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | Citristrip - QCSG801 | | Scent | Citrus | | Size | 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | Concentrated | | Specific Uses For Product | Deck | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | UPC | 751664008016 | | Unit Count | 32 Fluid Ounces | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Citristrip - **Item Form:** Gel - **Material Feature:** Unscented - **Scent:** Citrus - **Specific Uses For Product:** Deck ## Images ![Citristrip® Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel, 1 Quart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Jj0s2EHgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has this ruined anyone else's furniture besides mine?** A: This stuff is so awful.

So first off I want to say that when I received it I noticed how small it was (next to a pen for reference). I had more than enough I just I guess it would have been more for the price. To me it’s a little overpriced. Also it looks orange on the website but is actually pink. I did a test run on a small area after waiting 30 and it came out pretty okay. For all the warning on the bottle I have to say it wasn’t as dangerous as I did skip a few precautions and as long as you wash it off immediately you’ll be fine. I mean your skin might peel for a bit but it isn’t painful. I mean not that you should be irresponsible and use latex gloves on a latex paint remover like I did I just didn’t have rubber ones and I wanted this done. You could react differently so be safe. All I had was a thin amount of skin peeling off my finger and my palm where the glove broke. The gel was very sticky and thick. I used like half the, again pretty small, bottle. But it got the job done. It didn’t leak anywhere which was appreciated so I could put it where I wanted. After the test run I covered the entire area I needed with the product and put plastic over it. I let it sit overnight as per the instructions and scraped it off in the morning. No it certainly did not come off easily (it took hours) but it did the job. If this was a spray, an effective spray, it would be more easier to apply but it isn’t. Applying the gel was still pretty easy (1 pour gel, 2 smooth it out 3 hurry and take off the latex glove off) but the scraping off? 🙅‍♀️ I did have an area where I put a resin based wall plaster on the table (trying and ultimately failing to get a smooth finish) and I wasn’t sure if it would be able to remove it. But lucky me because it came right off. After scraping it is absolutely essential to have a toothbrush and a rag it you want it to look clean. Maybe you could was it off with a soapy rag instead but for my it was a lot of scraping with the toothbrush, wipe with rag, more scrubbing, the more wiping, quick enough so what it scrubbed off doesn’t dry back on. And the areas of the rag must be clean enough not to smug the paint mixture back on. And voila! A effective removal! Mmmm… okay so a job well done? Why four stars and not five? THE SMELL I do not care if there are no harmful fumes when it smells that bad. Reminds me of blood and had me sneezing all day!! Would be absolutely wonderful if not for the smell. TLDR: kinda small, pink, scraps off decently, don’t get it on yourself, scrub w/ a toothbrush, and BEWARE OF SMELL! ## Frequently Bought Together - Citristrip® Paint & Varnish Stripping Gel, 1 Quart - Bates Choice - 10 in 1 paint scraper tool, Painters tool - Pro Grade - Paint Brushes - 5 Ea - Paint Brush Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/104194200-citristrip-paint-and-varnish-stripping-gel-1-quart](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/104194200-citristrip-paint-and-varnish-stripping-gel-1-quart) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
