Blackfriar Paint & Varnish Remover 500ml

Blackfriar Paint and Varnish Remover requires minimal preparation. After stripping, no washing down is needed unless you are re-coating the surface with emulsion or any type of water-based finish. Blackfriar Paint & Varnish Remover removes old coatings quickly and effectively. It works on a variety of finishes including gloss and emulsion paints, varnish and French polish. Effective on wood, metal and glass, the fastacting formula has a non-drip consistency, which makes it easy to apply to all surfaces. It will not discolour or raise the grain of wood. Preparation - Wear protective clothing, eye protection and gloves. Protect all surfaces not to be stripped from spillage or splashes with a waterproof covering such as polythene sheeting. Store in a cool place and take care when removing the cap as contents can pressurise. Ensure there are no sources of ignition in the proposed application environment. Work outside whenever possible or open all doors and windows to provide good draft and ventilation. Do not use in enclosed spaces. Application - Read Preparation and Health and Safety Instructions prior to using. We recommend testing on an inconspicuous area first. Apply a generous coat by brush taking care not to overspread. After a few minutes the paint will normally blister and lift. Many paints can then be removed by use of a scraper or wire wool. Thicker build-ups of heavy duty coatings may require extra applications every 30 minutes or until the paint is easily removed back to the original surface. Do not allow the remover to dry out between applications. Remove softened paint with a scraper, use a shave hook, wire wool or an old toothbrush in difficult areas.
