Description
Be sure to protect any areas that should not be stripped, as Equisol Xcoat can cause damage to paint and other surfaces.
Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective gloves and goggles. Shake the bottle well. Mix ONE part Equisol Xcoat with ONE part water in a clean plastic container and stir thoroughly.
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 Equisol Xcoat is pushed into the grain by scrubbing. Leave for 30 minutes, taking care to keep timber wet with a light water mist to keep the Xcoat moist. After 30 minutes, reapply Equisol Xcoat over the first coat and scrub in to reactivate the stripping formula. Leave it on for another 30 minutes.
Removal: Test if the finish is loose and lift it 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 the 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 Xcoat. Once Equisol Xcoat and finish have been removed, use a garden hose to rinse off any leftover chemicals on the surface. Soft timbers will feel furry due to the high-pressure hose. Your timber should look bare but darker. Use Equisol Prime and Equisol Vitalise to brighten timber before oiling.
