Description
Blackfriar Paint & Varnish Remover is brilliant for easily removing layers of paint as well as softening and renewing brushes and self-neutralizing the surface too. Blackfriar Paint & Varnish Remover is a solvent-based product and is not for use with water-based products.
Preparation
- Wear protective clothing, eye protection and gloves.
- Protect all surfaces not to be stripped from spillage or splashes with a waterproof covering such as polythene sheeting.
- Store in a cool place and take care when removing the cap as contents can pressurise.
- Ensure there are no sources of ignition in the proposed application environment.
- Work outside whenever possible or open all doors and windows to provide good draft and ventilation.
- Do not use in enclosed spaces.
Application
- Read Preparation and Health and Safety Instructions prior to using.
- We recommend testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Apply a generous coat by brush taking care not to overspread.
- After a few minutes the paint will normally blister and lift.
- Many paints can then be removed by use of a scraper or wire wool.
- Thicker build-ups of heavy duty coatings may require extra applications every 30 minutes or until the paint is easily removed back to the original surface.
- Do not allow the remover to dry out between applications.
- Remove softened paint with a scraper, use a shave hook, wire wool or an old toothbrush in difficult areas.
- After removal, re-coating can begin immediately with oil based paints providing the old coating and all residue of stripper has been completely removed, leaving a clean bare surface which is dry and sanded smooth.
- If re-coating with water-based paints, wash the stripped surface thoroughly with white spirit and leave to dry.
- Keep this product away from plastic, glassfibre, Perspex lino, textiles and other vulnerable surfaces.
Clean Up
- Remove as much product as possible, collecting waste into newspaper and allow to dry off in a safe place, outside.
- Do not empty into drains or water-courses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.
