Surfaces: Hi-Speed Ready-Strip works on most interior and exterior surfaces, including wood, plaster, metal, masonry, concrete and fiberglass. It is NOT to be used on sheetrock, plastic, rubber or linoleum surfaces.
Instructions: A. Test Patch: Since it is often hard to know the type or amount of paint or varnish on a surface, a small test area should be tested first to determine whether the desired results will be achieved.
B. Preparation: Mask any areas not being stripped with plastic and masking tape.
C. Application and Removal: Pour Hi-Speed Ready-Strip into a tray and apply liberally by brush, putty knife, medium nap paint roller, or airless sprayer. Apply at temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. Leave Hi-Speed Ready-Strip on approximately 1/2 hour to 1 hour. You may notice blistering or what appears to be no reaction at all. Use a paint scraper to lift paint from flat surfaces or a stiff bristle brush for detailed areas. After initial lifting, use a nylon brush or stripping pad with Ready-Strip Wash or light amounts of water for final clean-up of residue. If you are not down to the original surface, re-apply. Let surface thoroughly dry before re-finishing. No need to neutralize (acid wash) surface. Clean tools promptly after use with soap and water.
Coverage: A pint covers approximately 15 square feet.
