The Flipping Idiot vs a Quick QCS Test #2!

I have small tabletop made of a solid piece of antique oak.
This was a chance to give my bottle of QCS finish remover another chance to remove the clearcoat so I can cut up the wood upcycle into other projects.
The video was shot in late spring, so the temperature was a little low and it was later in the day so I ran out of sunlight but the QCS did soften the clear finish portion and lift some stain after being scrubbed with steel wool.

QCS is the worst stripper I have ever used

[@therealflippingidiot]

I had super high hopes for it after seeing the RUclips videos!
Two things I didn’t like about it was it destroyed my nitrile gloves from Costco, and I had no good information from the people that make it about how to neutralize it so I could put on the next finish…
I haven’t had a chance to test it extensively because in my market a lot of people are done buying antique, dark oak furniture, and QCS
Isn’t my first choice for certain Furniture or It doesn’t work at all on the other half of what I typically work on to flip.
If I thought it was terrible, I would make a video saying it’s terrible, but I’m still trying to figure out if there’s a place where it’s useful and my plan is to take old oak furniture and cut it up and turn it into mission style furniture.
So if it’s a less toxic way to take off the old gunk and varnish, I may keep using it, but it certainly isn’t close to unseating my favorite stripper and that is soy gel.
I like the blue bear brand of soy gel, and I hate their neutralizer, almost as much as I love the stripper cleaner that I used to neutralize the blue bear soy gel from Green EZ
