paint stripper - any recommendations?

hi i have finally had it with the horrible lumpy bumpy gloss paint on the wood work in my house, previous tennant painted all woodwork red!!!

I didnt have the time or interest to take it all off so painted it white... which looks pretty bad, now i dont have the time or interest to sand it all down, and have heard of polycell less mess paint stripper.

Has anyone used it? is it any good?

any other ideas?

  • Use a heat gun much quicker and alot less messy. Ive used one for the majority of my door frames and staircase. I tried using chemicals last weekend and hated it as you have to be very careful and it doesnt come off as easy as you think. :)
