Troubleshooting
Paint is not lifting.
Ensure the stripper is compatible with the paint type. Apply a second coat and allow more time. Scrape any remaining paint with a more rigid scraper.
Stripper is drying too quickly.
Work in small sections and avoid direct sunlight or drafts. Make sure the container lid is closed properly.
