It's taking forever to get old paint off a desk I am re-doing. I am surrounded with gobs of sticky paint and a sore hand from trying to scrub it all off. Thank you for your inspirational site and next time I'm just going to Home Depot with your products rec's. Your Kleanstrip experience is what I am currently dealing with in my garage.

And, Cindy T, thanks for the bonus tip of adding plastic wrap over the top to discourage evaporation. I happen to have a bottle of the "orange goodness" in my garage and a few huge projects to use it on. My other thought is to purchase a heat gun for door frames. The previous owner painted something wrong over something wrong without the proper prep, and the paint is peeling away in big chunks like a bad sunburn. Anyway, I'll start with Citristrip. Wish me luck!! Have you ever used a heat gun, CG? The You Tube videos make it look relatively easy. Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial, CG!!

It allows the stripper to work longer before it dries/evaporates. Then go back awhile later and lift the plastic wrap off. Lots of painty guck (hopefully most of it) should be stuck to it. I removed very resistant paint with this method. After you apply the stripper, lay a piece of plastic wrap over it. It allows the stripper to work longer before it dries/evaporates.
