Stripper worked great for our jobs. We refinish tubs/tiles. Removed old epoxy well and with no strong odors. Wore gloves and respirator as we were in enclosed space. Also used a fan to expel vapors. Will start using this product from now on. Hope they do not go up in price again. Between orders that were only 9 days apart, it went up 14.5%. Other than that a great product!

This stuff is amazing. Starts working within a minute. Use glove and a mask.
Tried other strippers with nothing but frustration. You get what you pay for. Im close to Aircraft Spruce, so no shipping cost.

This is old school type stripper, good ventilation and PPE is a must. It does seem to work like the old stuff which is mostly good.
If you are stripping a 1970s vintage Piper with original paint, this is NOT your material to use. That Acrylic whatever paint they used does not strip well with this product.

Ive only tested it so far.
Im testing several products and waiting for warmer temperatures. I can say it is almost odorless which is significant compared to the other products. It has worked on several different types of old aircraft paint. It will be useful. The other products have very strong fumes.

Very effective paint stripper. Works much faster than big-box store type paint strippers, including the citrus kinds. Be warned, it is extremely caustic and will cause a chemical burn in very short order. Common (and popular) nitrile exam gloves will not protect you from this stuff. Invest in a pair of long-cuff chemical resistant gloves, eye protection, and a NIOSH respirator. This cant be overstated.

Store bought stripper was ineffective. Tried PTI to get stubborn primer/paint removed around rivet heads. Worked great -- applied the remover, let it set a few minutes, agitated with a brush and the crud dissolved. Wish I had tried this product sooner. Very happy with results.

i am stripping the paint off of a69 norton motorcycle. the paint is very tough. two orther products would not touch it. yours barely worked. i still had to do alot of scraping and blasting but it came off after two goats of stripper. i guess with the environmental limits today it is hard to make it work like the old days.

Works very well against polyurethane paints. With the consumer ban on methylene chloride strippers, none of the OTS strippers in hardware stores work anymore since 2019. This PTI stripper however continues to do its job well.

After trying several different paint strippers, all of which were found to be utterly useless, I purchased this and was pleasantly amazed at how well it works. Once applied, the pain will begin to blister and loosen within a few minutes. Used this product to remove old glue while replacing carpet in my plane. Again the results were amazing. This product actually works! Highly recommend this product.

I first found your site when looking for a polyurethane and epoxy remover. For years I had been using products that a person would get at a local concrete bldg store and I wont mention the likes of names. We all know that such products have been removed and the ingredients have changed to the point they are useless. So with that being said I searched and searched and after buying a few products from the local hardware store I had almost given up. And certainly was reluctant to spend a lot of money to experiment with any more products from a hardware store. In my search I found Aircraft Spruce green PTI paint and polyurethane epoxy remover. I have to say for a person that has been using strippers for many years I was skeptical. I thought why not just get a quart and see if it really works. And so for any potential customers reading my review I want you to be confident that it truly works and does the job. I have read some of the reviews on this product and see there are a few that are negative. So with that being said I first must say you have to know how to use a product that is made for stripping. Tools needed for doing your stripping job Temperature is key. Gloves! Throw away paint brushes or a person can use a quality paint brush and wash it out. This product cleans up very well. Eye protection! One thing I will say about the temperature when it comes to stripping it depends on the item your stripping. Ive used this product on many items now and it reacts a bit different depending on what your removing. So one must experiment a bit. Clean up items needed Rags buy yourself a bag of rags from the local brick and mortar store. They are cheap and you can just throw them away. At least that is what I do. If your working on a big project you will have to strip small areas , dont let your project get ahead of if you. There are however a few tools that are needed that you can not buy. 1. Patience 2.The Will to preserve 3.Experiment and you will gain experience. 4. Safety 5. Acetone Aircraft Spruce has it available. 6.Know that this product will help you achieve your goal. With all this being said I cant thank Aircraft Spruce enough for having a product that is satisfying to use. Its safe and does the job. Ive used it on wood and on metal and even on glass Thank you so very much for your product. I would not be able to do my job without it. Your appreciated

Low odor, works fast, well, and doesnt harm aluminum. I stripped factory glue residue from my entire interior cabin and firewall. Also stripped epoxy paint from individual airframe parts. Good stuff. Burns on contact with skin so must wear gloves.

This paint remover is very effective. The problem is that a good portion of the stripper in the cans that I bought had turned into gelatin and would not flow and was not effective to remove the paint. I dont know if this is a quality control issue or what. Aside that from issue, its excellent paint remover.

For years here at our shop we used Aircraft paint stripper, it worked, and was quite effective. Recently for environmental concerns (i assume) they removed a certain chemical and the product is no longer effective, it just flat out doesnt work at all anymore. For months me and my team searched and searched for a product that worked to no avail. One of my vendors suggested Aircraft Spruces website and mentioned the PTI paint remover by name, we ordered and have been using it ever since. Great product and works perfectly for our needs.

This product is a great professional level stripper. It has the same quirks as any other paint stripper, it works best in warmer temperatures, the instruction sheet suggests placing polyethylene or some other plastic over the wet product and that does help a good bit, especially when temperatures are very high and the product dries fast. I’ve used hundreds of gallons of stripper on aircraft and this stuff works as good as any other when applied liberally and in the right temp range. Water neutralizes the product if it makes contact with skin which should be avoided, as well as the parts for cleanup.

Well, the order being sent a month later was not really a big deal now since pretty much everything is late now adays due to the shipping issues. The problem is that this was the second order of this material that was gelled up and not pourable. The first order they discounted 25%. This order I have not notified them actually and they would probably resend or refund this one. But then the next guy buying would run into the same issue. I will find a new supplier.

Works great on paint that is almost gone due to age but on the newer paints it is truly pitiful. I had some green epoxy primer on my parts and it barely took the gloss of it. I sanded the part and tried again 0 success .
I would not recommend this remover for any reason

The EPA is the real culprit, but this product is barely usable. On a left hand elevator for a C-210, I am on my 9th coat, and have about 80% of the paint removed, and have used almost all, 1 gallon. It would take about 100 gallons to do the entire plane, and hundreds of hours as the user must scrape each rivet.
It is bad enough, where if possible, I would as for a refund.
