Description
Preparation
Protect areas not to be stripped, as Equisol Strip will damage paint and other surfaces.
Application
Wear protective gloves and goggles. Shake the bottle well.
Apply to a dry surface with a brush or soft broom or spray in the direction of the grain. Apply and strip in areas 12m2 or smaller for maximum effectiveness. Ensure the Equisol Strip is pushed into the grain by scrubbing. Leave for 30 mins, keeping timber wet with a light water mist to keep the Strip moist. Be careful not to use too much water, which will wash the Strip off the timber. After 30 minutes, reapply Equisol Strip over the first coat and scrub in to reactivate the stripping formula. Leave on for another 30 minutes, keeping moist with water mist.
Removal: Test if the finish is loose and lift off the surface with a scraper. The timber will turn black when the stripper is ready to be removed. Apply more stripper where the timber is still light. The type and thickness of the finish will affect the time until layers are loose.
Use a high-pressure washer set to 50 bar (without turbo mode), working in the direction of the grain. A garden hose is not enough. Heavy finishes with multiple layers may require a repeat application of Equisol Strip. Soft timbers will feel furry due to the high-pressure cleaning. Once the Equisol Strip and finish have been removed, use a garden hose to rinse off any leftover chemicals on the surface. Your timber should look bare but darker. Use Equisol Prime and Equisol Vitalise to brighten timber before oiling. Sand any rough or furry patches with 80-grit sandpaper to restore a smooth finish.
