- Vertical surfaces.
Features:

- Deep penetration – removes several layers of paint in a single application.
- Rapid lifting and fast acting.
- Covers approximately 0.75m² per litre.
Application:
- Apply a thick coat using a paint brush. Allow the paint to soften and blister. The time will depend on the age, the number of coats and the quality of the paint to be removed.
- Use a paint scraper or steel wool to remove paint before paint rehardens. If paint remains after scraping apply a second coat. To prevent damage on delicate timbers use a non-metallic scourer to remove paint. Methylene Chloride based paint stripper can darken some timbers. If performing a clear finish conduct a trial on an inconspicuous area. Do not use on plastic, rubber, linoleum or fibreglass surfaces. Do not use hot air guns or torches with paint stripper.
- Wash surface with water to remove residue. Alternatively use Diggers Methylated Spirits if surface is affected by water or there is a danger of raising or swelling the timber.
- To clean brushes after use, soak in Diggers Methylated Spirits and then rinse with warm soapy water.
