Hints |
|
Aqua Strip heavy duty marine paint
and varnish remover. If Ready-Strip biodegradable paint remover
is applied too thinly, left on too long, or due to excessive heat
conditions, the applied area is difficult to scrape, try the following:
|
|
|
Mist the applied area with
Ready Strip Wash paint remover clean-up, wait 5-15 minutes and
remove.
|
|
|
Reapply Aqua Strip heavy duty
marine paint and varnish remover over itself, wait 15 to 30
minutes and remove.
|
|
|
If neither choice above works,
scrape off product and reapply.
|
|
|
|
Since it is often
hard to know the type or the amount of paint on a surface, a small
test area should be stripped to determine the proper application
and dwell time needed for paint removal.

Aqua Strip heavy duty marine paint and
varnish remover is applied to the surface at a total of approximately 1/32'
thick (30 mils) with a brush, roller, putty knife or sprayer. Can be sprayed
effectively using an airless sprayer DRILL MIX BEFORE SPRAYING - REMOVE
FILTERS FROM SPRAYER & GUN (Use at least a 1 GPM piston sprayer, .019 -
.021 spray tip). A wet mil gauge should be used to measure thickness.
Use a wide putty knife to lift the paint off broad surfaces or a stiff bristle
brush for detailed areas. Use a stiff bristle brush or stripping pad with
Ready Strip Wash paint remover clean-up to remove any residue. For
best results apply at temps between 60° F and 80° F. Product activity is
reduced below a temp. of 60° F and may require additional dwell time. If
product freezes let thaw and stir vigorously until product is consistent.
Coverage varies between 50 and 75 sq ft. per gal. No Neutralization required.
Clean-up with water. Any residue should be removed in a short period of
time. Misting the applied area with Ready Strip Wash paint remover clean-up
prior to removal makes lifting of the paint easier. Misting also reactivates
the product if it feels dry.

When you are removing bottom paint, but
do not wish to remove the epoxy bottom coat, care should be taken to remove
Aqua Strip heavy duty marine paint and varnish remover and the bottom paint
before it penetrates the epoxy barrier coat. A test area will determine
the proper dwell and removal time. Boats whose gel-coats show excessive
wear or deterioration may be affected by some paint removal. Do a test to
determine acceptability. Use Lift-n-Strip marine as an alternative.

Safety goggles are recommended for eye
protection. Protective gloves such as butyl rubber,
neoprene gloves are also recommended. Maintain adequate ventilation
especially in confined areas. If spraying or misting is expected use NIOSH
approved chemical cartridge (organic vapor) respiratory equipment (full
face respirator recommended). In case of inhalation - remove victim to fresh
air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. In case of eye contact
- flush exposed areas with large quantities of water. In case of skin contact
- wash skin with soap and water. Use emollient skin creams. In case of ingestion
- do not induce vomiting. Call physician immediately.
