You want to strip a door or any other large, flat area of paint or varnish.
You will need
Step by step process
-
Step 1
Protect all furniture, flooring and surrounding areas, and ensure use of eye protection and gloves.
-
Step 2
Apply Polycell Advanced Paint Stripper in an even, generous coat all over the door.
-
Step 3
Leave for 2-4 hours until the paint begins to blister, and then test scrape to see if adequate penetration has taken place. If required, the product can be left for up to 6 hours to maximise penetration through all the paint layers. When ready, remove with a stripping knife or shaving hook.
-
Step 4
Should any paint remain, repeat the process. Then use white spirit to clean the door surface of any final residues - this will avoid raising the grain of the wood. The door is now ready to paint or treat as desired.
