Is this product for sell in the states?

@beckigreen Hi Becki, I am afraid it is not available in the US, only in the UK. I am sure there are some other great paint strippers available for you there though.

Sorry for the delay! Our paint strippers would have been suitable for your beams. Using a metal scrapper would also work, but then you may damage the wood underneath.

@ToaRanen7 - try using a scraper with a blade or a hand/electric wood planer...

@ToaRanen7 try making yourself go away?

I'm trying to remove some of the varnish, and paint off of some beams. The beams are brown, and glossy, and smooth, and have a white layer underneath. I've been sanding it off with a sander to get down to the basic wood, but it's an agonizingly slow process, and takes a lot of effort. Would this work for striping off the finish on the beams?
