PRINCIPLES
OF PAINT REMOVAL
An effective paint-removal process should not damage the substrate (surface underneath the paint). It should also enable the paint to be completely removed. Our paint strippers make this possible by breaking the bond between the paint and substrate allowing the paint to come away in sheets or as a soft powder depending upon the paint type. This can then be washed away from the surface. No scraping or wire brushing is necessary. This avoids damaging the substrate.
Any surface, from plaster mouldings to brickwork can be left looking as if it had never been painted.

DO'S
& DON'TS
• Always do a test on a sample area first – paint stripping can be quite a laborious task, test a small area to see if you really want to take it on. In the case of rubber and plastic it is always wise to check a small area to ensure that the stripper does not damage the substrate. There are many grades of plastic and rubber, whilst our products are safe on most of them, it is always sensible to check
• With a large job, ensure that the area where you carry out the test is representative of the area as a whole.
• When carrying out tests, ensure that the product is applied sufficiently thickly, as explained in the relevant product usage data sheet.
• When doing tests, do experiment with different dwell times of application. The longer the product is left in place, the easier it will be to strip the paint
• When doing tests, always wash off the residues

USEFUL
TIPS
WASHING OFF
• When washing off by hand, a sponge is essential to remove residues scrubbed off the surface.
• The paint-remover should do the work, not a scraper. If any paint remains after washing off, a second application will be needed.
MASKING
• Polythene sheeting can be used for masking and protection work.
PRESSURE-WASHERS
• If practical, a pressure washer is the quickest way to wash off product and paint residues
• A hot water pressure-washer is generally quicker and more effective than a cold water machine.
• Keep the nozzle of the pressure-washer just near enough to the work to cleanly wash off the stripped paint but not close enough to damage the substrate
