Frequently Asked Questions
Coverage:
Roughly 150-175 sq. feet per gallon. Application on substrate and type of removal will vary. Since remover is used in spots, coverage is an approximation, only.
I applied a coat of Premium to the paint, but it is not bubbling. Why isn’t it working?
It is working; you are probably trying to remove water-based paint. Water-based paints soften, but do not blister up. Follow the instructions for application, and in a few minutes test an area for softness. When old latex paint becomes soft and gooey, scrape up. If you are working on wood, rinse with some paint thinner and super fine steel wool. Do not use water to rinse a wood surface. Water will raise the grain of the wood. Let dry.
The Premium Paint and Epoxy remover was used to remove paint on a metal surface that comes in contact with food (at a chocolate company). After the remover was used and the paint stripped off, are there any traces of chemicals that would be an issue with food preparation?
Once he strips, it should be rinsed with water or mineral spirits. Then, clean the surface with a regular cleaning solution. At that point there would be no residue left and it will be safe for food.
How would you strip off a finish which is very similar to what you would see on top of a bar, it has a plastic look to it?
Sounds like an old high build polyurethane. I would suggest the Premium Paint and Epoxy Remover. Apply to a manageable area, then put a sheet of aluminum foil over the surface. Test every few minutes for softening and then scrape. On a very thick film, a second application may be in order.
