I'm in California right now, so maybe there are more effective formulations in other States. However, the EPA (Federal) has banned Methylene for many applications so ???
I have a steel machine base cabinet with piano hinged doors and 2 internal pull-out trays. The cabinet was the factory base for a tap grinder that came from an industrial application. The cabinet is stout and in very good shape so I decided to repurpose it after essentially scrapping the grinder.
I stripped the knobs, shelves and slides from the cabinet, then used Oil Eater degreaser and a pressure washer to clean all surfaces. The interior of the cabinet had a grey finish, I think it was the OEM prime, that was removed by the degreasing process. Much (about 70-80%) of the exterior was also down to bare metal after the degreasing process, so the paint was not the toughest stuff ever.
I decided to buy a quart of the title product to make quick work of the remainder.
What a joke. I've completed my eighth application/pressure wash/dry cycle and need at least one more cycle tomorrow. It is advertised as "STRIPS MULTIPLE LAYER FAST". I call that a bold face lie (unless they meant layers of butter).
Because of this unsatisfactory performance of this product I did a little research into Methylene Chloride and find that I can buy gallons of it (shipped to CA too) from AMAZON. If I ever decide to use paint stripper in the future, I intend to buy a gallon of Methylene Chloride and juice up the cheapest paint stripper I can buy.
