It's usually not a good idea to paint a stripper unless she gives you
permission first. She may decide to charge you with assault & battery.

What?

I misunderstood the question?

Nevermind.

It works, it does smell if citrus, if you are in a closed space it can get
kind of strong. It is not fast, you have to wait hours for it to work, but
if it dries out all you ahve to do is spray water on it and it activates it
again. Redi Strip works same as citra strip but it has no smell at all.
Both are slow because they have taken all the haserdous chemicals out of
them.

I've used Citristrip to remove polyurethane (?) from kitchen cabinets. I
don't remember it taking hours, more like 30-45 minutes. One application
to get rid of most of the coating, and a lighter subsequent application
to remove residue. Don't know/remember how well it works on paint. This
was 3-4 years ago and the polyurethane was in poor condition, so that may
have been a factor.

This stuff is weak. I prefer to use the harsh stuff.
