New School Paint Stripper - EZ Strip
EZ Stripper tips
- SHAKE the jug well!! This was my first lesson, it needs to be thick and white when poured out
- PATIENCE is the key especially if you are used to the old school strippers that work in minutes
- apply a thicker coat then normal "old type" stripper
- keep the surface wet adding more product or brushing thicker areas gently over thinner
- time varies on different finishes but test after about an hour with a metal scraper
- if finish is stubborn, cover in recycled plastic overnight NOTE I am a huge recycler and repurposer and cannot use new plastic to cover. I prefer to cut the thin plastic bags used when parcels are delivered by courier. You only need 1 layer to press over the product.
- be sure to neutralize the stripper with water using a green scouring pad to remove last softened bits at the same time
- as much as I loved the old school stripper I am now a fan of this especially for the positive environmental qualities it has
- it also removes many kinds of things and there are many other uses for this product including cleaning your oven
