Default RE: Getting rid of paint

Application is simple. I brushed it on (do about 4 to 8 inches at a time), let it sit for about half hour. Take another stiff brush and scrub it a bit, then wipe off with paper towels. I used a lot of paper towels. I liked the stuff because it was so non-volitile. Some of the strippers in hardware stores can be smelly and too powerful. It takes quite a bit of time but is not difficult. It pretty much strips the paint in layers. I don't know if this stuff is exactly what you are looking for but I found it to be usable indoors without any complaints. It comes in pint cans at about 6 or 7 dollars - it's worth a try. It also doesn't seem to leave any residue. If you have a stubborn spot that it can't seem to cut through - just wipe clean, let dry for a day or so, then sand that area smooth before repainting. I was amazed that it didn't attack plastic, my epoxy glue joints, some bondo filler, etc. It left me with a surface that was very clean , required minor resanding, and minor reputty work before repriming for fresh paint. I found no negatives except that it takes a bit of time to bubble the paint.

Good luck,
Eric
