There are many Paint stripping products on the market, all claiming to be the right one for you. So how do you select the right one ?
When selecting your paint
stripping product it is best to have an idea of what you need your
paint stripping product to do beforehand. Knowing what material
surface you will be working on is crucial to selecting the best
product for the required job. Whether you are stripping the paint
from a door, the kitchen wall or the garage, all different materials
react differently to chemical solutions.
A prime example would be if you
are stripping paint from a wooden fence and a metal table, the
materials will react differently. Corrosive elements could result in
burning or marking the material underneath the layer of paint. So to
avoid any unnecessary damage to your home it's best to do your
homework first.
While scanning the range of
products available to use in paint stripping tasks always read the
back of the container. Even if the front label says it can be used on
all surfaces it may not necessarily be true. Picking up a product
which cannot be used on wood for stripping a door is no good. Take
advertising slogans at face value and read the small print on the
container. This will save you time and money if the product is not
suitable.
In addition to checking for
surfaces it is also an idea to consider the base for your paint
stripper. Different products have different qualities. Some solutions
are non drip which means they work well on walls whereas other may be
more suitable for flatter surfaces like windowsills and decking. A
non drip solution is more suitable for a family home but if you live
alone it may not be an issue. Everyone's requirements are different.
Taking the time to select the
correct product for your paint stripping task will save a lot of time. Picking up the first product you come to could have
adverse effects so picking up a product which is suitable for the
surface you're working on and for your requirements is much better
value.
