Paint remover, also known as paint stripper, is used to soften and lift paint from a surface, allowing for its easy removal. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Apply the Paint Remover: Liberally apply the paint remover to the painted surface, following the manufacturer's instructions. The thickness of the application depends on the number of paint layers you're trying to remove.
-
Wait for the Paint to Bubble: Allow the paint remover to sit for the recommended time, during which the paint will begin to bubble and lift from the surface.
-
Scrape off the Bubbled Paint: Once the paint is sufficiently softened, use a metal putty knife to scrape it away. Avoid plastic putty knives, as they may melt.
-
Reapply if Necessary: If there are multiple layers of paint or if some areas remain stubborn, reapply the paint remover and repeat the process.
-
Clean the Surface: After all paint layers are removed, clean the surface with mineral spirits and a clean cloth to remove any remaining residue from the paint remover.
