TotalBoat TotalStrip: Fast-Acting Gel Paint Remover – No Methylene Chloride or NMP (1 gal)

Overview

TotalBoat TotalStrip is an industrial-strength gel paint and varnish remover designed to tackle stubborn coatings without caustic fumes. Its thick, no-drip gel clings to vertical and complex surfaces, allowing you to apply up to 1/2 inch thick and strip multiple layers in a single pass. Built for wood, fiberglass, gelcoat, stone, and metal, TotalStrip is formulated to be powerful yet gentler on the surface beneath the coating, helping you achieve cleaner starts on challenging projects.

Fast-Acting, Easy to Use

The remover works with minimal effort: brush, roller, or putty knife application is straightforward, and the finish often begins to yield within minutes. For thicker builds, you can let the product dwell longer to tackle deeper layers. A simple tip to boost effectiveness is to cover the applied gel with wax paper or plastic wrap; this keeps the layer moist so it can continue working, even overnight if needed.

• Thick applications up to 1/2 inch enable more paint to come off in fewer passes.
• Gel formula clings to vertical surfaces, reducing drips and mess.
• Effective on latex and oil-based paints, varnish, lacquer, urethanes, stains, and tough bottom boat paints.

Low Odor, Easy Cleanup

Unlike traditional strippers, TotalStrip contains no methylene chloride or NMP. The low-odor, non-caustic formula cleans up with water, so there’s no need for an aftercare acid wash. This makes it more comfortable for indoor or shop use and simplifies the post-strip rinse.

• No harsh fumes for a more comfortable workspace.
• Water rinse removes residue without heavy neutralization steps.
• Ideal for interior projects with better ventilation or enclosed spaces.

Versatility Across Surfaces

TotalStrip is designed to be versatile across common substrates used in both home and professional projects. It’s suitable for interior and exterior work and can help prepare surfaces such as wood, fiberglass, gelcoat, stone, and metal for refinishing. The formula aims to minimize surface damage while lifting coatings, which can be especially helpful in detailing work or areas with intricate profiles.
