Barrettine Peelaway 1 Paint Remover - 15Kg

Barrettine

Peelaway 1 is a water-based alkaline paste formulated to safely remove multi-layers of most architectural and domestic paints as well as many industrial coatings containing oil, lead, polyurethane or water from wood, brick, stone, steel, iron, concrete, marble, decorative plaster cornices and plaster walls. It will also remove painted wallpaper. Peelaway 1 can be used on virtually all interior and exterior surfaces, vertical plus overhead and is excellent for intricate, carved and moulded surfaces. Must be neutralised before repainting with the neutraliser supplied in the pack. Always carry out a test patch before general use. Test areas should typically be 75 x 75mm to 300 x 300mm. Apply Peelaway paste 1-6mm thick depending on the coating type, age and number of layers. Place the Peelaway blanket print-side out onto the paste, rub gently to remove air and pierce any bubbles. Leave for 2-48 hours, depending on coating type and thickness. For heavy paint build-up over plaster mouldings, Peelaway 1 may require up to 72 hours, which can also aid drying and help the paint and blanket lift from the substrate. For areas involving different elevations several test patches should be applied to accommodate the possibility of different coatings and the effects of weather on exterior surfaces. To remove, the spatula should be inserted into the paste and a section gently lifted away. If the original surface is apparent, the test patch can be removed and the surface wiped with a damp sponge. If paint can still be seen, the test patch should be replaced and re-examined after a few hours. Once the correct paste and timing for the project has been established together with the thickness required, the designated paste should be applied, the Peelaway blanket laid over the paste and left for the time indicated by the test patch. Full instructions are on the containers. Each project can potentially give different results and this is why it is imperative to carry out Test Patches. Leaving on for not long enough could mean the process has not completed. Leaving on too long could damage the substrate or you may find the Peelaway blanket and paste becomes too hard and difficult to clean up., Weight: 35.27396192 Pounds, Manufacturer: Barrettine
