Allow approximately:

5–15 MINUTES

for the stripper to soften the coating.

Should I leave it on longer than 15 minutes?

Follow the label guidance and do not allow the product to dry out on the surface.

A repeat application is preferable for stubborn coatings.

How far away should I spray?

Approximately:

15–20cm

Is it a liquid or gel?

It is an aerosol-applied non-drip gel.

Why is the gel formula useful?

It helps the stripper cling to:

• Vertical surfaces
• Detailed areas
• Panels
• Furniture
• Metalwork

rather than immediately running away.

Do I have to scrape the paint afterwards?

Yes.

Once softened, remove the coating using an appropriate:

• Scraper
• Brush
• Steel wool
• Abrasive tool

depending on the surface.

Can I remove lacquer?

• Unwanted painted areas

Can I use it on alloy wheels?

It may remove compatible paint from suitable metal wheels where complete stripping is intended.

Do not use where you want to preserve an existing powder-coated or sensitive finish.

Can I repaint straight afterwards?

Remove all softened coating and stripper residue first.

The substrate should then be correctly cleaned, dried and prepared before painting.

Can I use it indoors?

Use outdoors where possible.

If used indoors, very good ventilation is essential.

Do I need gloves?
