How does it work on painted wood?

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.

It was okay, but I actually liked Citrus Strip better. I am refinishing an old bedroom set and bought this when I ran out of Citrus Strip. Not horrible, but not great. I found the stuff I liked at Lowes or Home Depot, forget which one.

It works really well, and unlike some of the alkaline enviromental strippers (like Peel Away 7) it won't darken the wood. If the paint is many coats accumulated over decades, it may require a second application to get it all.

I've never used on wood. This product is designed for automobile paint for light duty work. I would check with a furniture refinisher to see if this polisher is appropriate.

It will not work if applied over stain or paint. If the surface has any exposed area, it will work. Color is based on the type of wood's natural disposition when it ages.

yes.....if the wood is unsealed or not painted it may penetrate the surface and enter the grain...if the wood product is sealed or painted it works just as described. You might want to consider "Wet and Forget" also...google it and read its applications..I use it on wood decking.

It is pretty soft. Also, it softens up a great deal as it warms up (as you are applying it). So as you start to work it it gets even softer. I have used it as a final coating on large paintings. I think that it would work for wood as well. It just depends on how much wood you have to wax and how you plan to spread it.

Yes it does work on furniture. I've used it on my white painted doors and it cut through the excess dust and dirt just fine. I think it works well because while it has plenty of steam, it's not too "hot" on the wood surface. Of course, I might be hesitant to use it on antique oak,but for the rest, I think it's fine. Hope this helps. Mark

I know from personal experience that it will remove multiple coats of old paint. I haven't tried it on poly over stain, but I can't see why it wouldn't be equally effective. Presumably, softwoods with a deep penetrating stain might be more problematic.

This works on everything. I suggest you put some on a Qtip, roll it on a paper towel to control the amount , swipe it, do not rub..have a polish ready to stop the removal. If it soaks in you will loose paint and have a streak or pit.

Hi Lisa, I'm actually not sure. I had to use it on wood and it seemed to work great. Sorry!!

my method may not be the best... after applying the gel, i left it on for more than 30mins.. i used scraper to remove the paint (don't need too much force).. then repeat the cycle twice.. that's when i see the wood..i clean the surface with tap water & old sponge (be careful of splinters).. after cleaning, there is still an extremely little bit of hair-width sized paint that's left within the wood grain pattern.. but i don't mind that..hope i answer ur question =)

I used it on cabinets that had been painted black and white. Thought id give it a try before doing extra steps! Didn't strip them or anything and this product worked wonderfully going right over the paint. Did four coats on the white and two on the black. Hope this helps!

I also haven't used this product as of yet. I would ask a paint professional such as Lowes or Ace. They have very knowledgeable people there...or test it on a old piece of wood! I believe that your paint top coat has to be flat paint . Also try YouTube; there is a ton of videos on there! Good luck!

It`s not ment for bare wood. It reacts with the original finish and brings back the shine. It works well if and old finish is still there

When put on wood, the PC Petrifier "wets" it so it looks darker. When dry it lightens up. Might have a little residual white to it, but its nothing at all like white paint.

Yes, it works on wood. There are some glues that expand and end up with air in the dried glue. Not this stuff. It's solid when it comes out of the tube, when it goes on, and when it dries. . . and it holds on like grim death. Getting it off where you don't want it is nearly impossible.

We haven't tried to do that ~ only on stained wood. A little goes a long way!

I used it on an apartment wall, I imagine it would work on wood just as well.
