Full details
This guide is for anyone looking to effectively strip and clean exterior wooden surfaces using Owatrol Aquanett. The product excels at removing old oils, millglaze, and weathered finishes, making it ideal for prepping wood for new treatments. A key benefit is its gel consistency, preventing drips and making it suitable for vertical surfaces; however, it's crucial to neutralize the surface with Net-Trol after use to stop the stripping action.
