With the consistency of frosting, Smart Strip is easily applied to vertical and horizontal surfaces. No one wants to partake in stripping paint longer than they have to, and Smart Strip flat out wins because it takes off more layers of paint per application than any other stripper tested. My stairs had layers of both latex and oil paint over a base coat of shellac. It took only two applications to remove most of the paint down to bare wood. Smart Strip is tough stuff. It can be a bit more expensive than the competitors, but then again, you have to use less of it to get the job done.
