Libéron Fine Wood Stripper 500ml

Very easy to use, simply apply with a brush and wait 5 minutes then scrap off! Best on the market and much less abrasive than sanding down varnished wood (10 times quicker than sanding too!). It is quite gooey so make sure you’ve got covering over the floor. It does have a very strong scent so wear a face covering and apply in a well ventilated area. Will buy again. Highly recommended.

Decent product. A little patch in areas but still worked well. Used it on out decking spindles as we wanted to apply oil after moving in and there was sone stubborn paint on there. Happy with the results.

I’ve used a cheap paint stripper for wood furniture before and it was terrible, so decided to try this on a wooden chest of drawers I am upcycling. Was not disappointed one bit! On a heavily detailed area it completely got rid of the paint within 3 coats. The only con I would say is the smell, it’s extremely strong. But would absolutely recommend this, worth the money!

It works well at removing varnish from veneer. Nice and gloopy so no idea why people are saying it is thin. Strong smell so ventilate well as VOC high. But the top. Aaargh. You have to pull the two red rungs up to create a mini handle then pull the whole red thing up again that pulls out spout. And then screw the red thing off. It's just a ridiculous piece of overenginnering. Two stars off for that. Put a normal screw cap on.

Recently purchased my first house and decided to up-cycle some dining room chairs to keep costs down, however, I had the task of removing all the varnish from the very detailed chairs I purchased ahead of me which I was not looking forward to. This, whilst smelling so much better than any other strippers I've used in the past, made the job quick and easy. I also managed to drop some of this on the carpet without noticing and it didn't discolour it at all! :O

Possibly the worst product I have ever purchased. The lid is the most difficult to open needing pneumatic hands to pull up the interior heavy duty bag which contains the stripper. I was eager to start as have a lot of intricate detail/relief to strip which I could not do in the outhouse. I so hoped this would do the job and save me a lot of time and hard work on just the carved panels . The product did not work at all even after applying 2 coats. Smell isn't too bad, consistency is easy to manage. Photos show sanded parts, after applying product to the detailed squares they are still the same so for me it's back to hand sanding a rather large project.

This paint stripper did a good job on a wooden filing cabinet I was renovating. It doesn't smell too bad and was pleased to see it's free from the harmful chemical methylene chloride. Protect your eyes, nose, mouth and skin nonetheless!Only bloody annoying thing is the tiny opening that you can barely pour the stuff out of or get a decent brush into. I opened mine with a tin opener just so I could get to the product. Big design flaw!

I use this for stripping old gun stocks and so I cant really say how good it is at other things such as paint but its great for what I want. Generally my stocks are about 150 years old and they have a mix of oils, stains, and dirt etc and this really gives a even finish. I dont really go too deep as im not after quality etc but you can really see the difference. Plu I use it in the house and it doesnt make me ill. It has a distinctive smell but I feel that its quite harmless. It doesnt run and works in 30 minutes. After the wood is a little damp and so it needs to dry out but by the next day you can sand it down. I tend to use 2 coats. Im not sure what other strippers do and maybe they do the same thing but I have not been displeased with this. Because im not taking a think coat of paint or varnish off there is little to get rid of but I use dishwashing scourers to clean the gook off after. I do the work in the kitchen with a rag on the floor but really, its not splashy or runny and after I just wash the brush under the tap and its good for next time. I give this 5 stars as I actually enjoy this part of the job, I really feel like I have the right tool. I do recall that it came in super over the top packaging, I think it had several wraps of bubble wrap which is good considering its a chemical. It took me a while to figure out how to open it. I thought you pulled up the flap handles and pulled a spout up and out like on oil cans but all you do is unscrew it. It makes a ratchet sound which is what made me think I was doing it wrong. I dont think the price is too much but considering the age of my items I didnt really want to experiment with cheaper alternatives. Its prety thick and I can see this running out quick if your stripping big things but its lasting plenty for me.
