The Eco Solutions Home Strip Paint & Varnish Remover is engineered for effective, gentle paint removal across diverse applications. Its core strength lies in its ability to penetrate and lift stubborn coatings without the health risks or surface damage associated with traditional strippers.
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and free of loose debris. Protect surrounding areas that you don't want to strip.
Application: Apply a generous, thick layer of the remover to the painted or varnished surface using a brush or roller. The key is to apply enough to keep the coating wet. Do not brush it out thinly.
Dwell Time: Allow the product to work. For most modern paints, 30 minutes to a few hours may suffice. For very old, thick, or multiple layers (e.g., lead-based paints on historical furniture), leave it on for 6 to 24 hours. The product will remain active as long as it stays wet. If working outdoors or in dry conditions, you can cover the applied area with a plastic sheet to prevent it from drying out.
Testing: Before full removal, test a small area to see if the paint has softened and is ready to be scraped off.
Scraping: Once the paint has softened and lifted, gently scrape it off using a suitable tool (e.g., a blunt scraper, plastic spatula, or stripping knife). Be careful not to damage the underlying surface.
Stubborn Areas: For any remaining stubborn spots or deeply embedded layers, reapply the remover to that specific area and allow more dwell time.
Neutralization/Clean-up: After scraping, clean the surface with warm water and a scrubbing brush or sponge. This neutralizes any remaining residue and prepares the surface for repainting or finishing. Ensure the surface is thoroughly dry before proceeding.
Furniture Restoration: Safely strip layers of old paint or varnish from antique furniture without damaging delicate wood or requiring extensive ventilation.
Architectural Heritage: Ideal for removing lead-based paints from historical features like skirting boards, doors, and architraves, protecting both the item and the restorer.
Home Renovation: Effectively strip kitchen cabinets, door frames, or window sills indoors without exposing your household to harsh chemical fumes.
Metal & Masonry: Clean rust-preventive coatings from metal or old paint from brickwork and stone, leaving the substrate unharmed.
This remover excels in situations where safety, environmental consideration, and non-damaging efficacy are paramount.
Preparation: Ensure your work area is clean and protected with drop cloths or old newspapers. While the product is non-irritant, wearing gloves is recommended for general hygiene and to keep your hands clean during the scraping process. No special ventilation is required.
Tools: You'll need a brush or roller for application and a scraper or stripping knife for removal. A bucket of warm water and a sponge or scrubbing brush will be useful for clean-up.
