New School Paint Stripper - EZ Strip

 


I have had many ask what paint and varnish stripper I am using now the old school ones have been pulled from shelves so wanted to share with you all. This is it.

Here are all my projects using this new school stripper.

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
