Overview

Editor's Review:

review date: June 1, 2009

Ready-Strip is a true gel that performed well on both vertical and horizontal surfaces, this stripper dried out a bit more quickly than the other strippers, but could be resoftened with a spray bottle of water for more effective removal. When it comes to application, odor, and ease of removal, Ready-Strip ties with the top-performing Smart Strip. However, while it removed paint well, it didn’t take off as many layers of paint per application as Smart Strip. Ready-Strip would be a perfectly good option if you had to remove only a couple of layers of paint, but for my application, it fell a bit short.
