How to use Polyvine Varnish and Paint Remover
- Large areas can be coated up without drying out.
- Apply liberally with a brush.
- Remove after the required time with a scraper, or ideally use a stainless-steel scouring ball. (Do not use wire wool as this will create red rust which will stain the surface).
- Apply further coats if required to completely remove the coating.
- Covering with a plastic film will assist in keeping the product adhered to the surface.
- It is the product, not the operative, which does the stripping.
- Cleaning of intricate carvings and/or moulding’s is improved by wrapping in plastic sheeting (cling film or foil) and leaving overnight.
- No special after treatment required. Simply wash down with a wet cloth or, if using on external surfaces, use either a pressure hose or a plastic brush and bucket of water.
Please note
- Always apply to a test area before starting work.
- Do not leave longer than recommended on veneered surfaces
- Recommended stripping times – Multi-Layered paint: 1 hour to overnight. Wood Stains, Varnishes, Lacquers, Shellac: 15- 30 minutes. Polyurethanes & Acrylics: 30-45 minutes. These times are approximations and subject to substrate.
- Varnish & Paint Remover is not a pollutant. Care must be taken to ensure that any paint solids do not enter surface water drains.
- Do not mix with other products.
- Lead paint is one of the major sources of lead in older houses. It is recorded that about two-thirds of the homes built before 1940, and one-half of the homes built from 1940 to 1960 have been decorated with lead-based paint. Some homes built in the 60’s and early 70’s may contain some lead too. Polyvine Varnish and Paint Remover is a “working wet system” that keeps the paint wet at all times, significantly reducing any risk of dust and therefore exposure to harmful particles.
- Storage Conditions – Do not allow it to freeze.
- Coverage: approximately 4-6 sq. metres per litre
