Troubleshooting
Paint is not stripping effectively
Ensure the stripper was applied to the correct thickness and that the specialized paper was adequately sealed. The dwell time may need to be extended for very old or thick paint layers. Check that the surface was not too hot or cold during application.
Stripper is drying out too quickly
Make sure the specialized paper is applied correctly and sealed around the edges to prevent evaporation. If working in very hot or windy conditions, consider covering the area with plastic sheeting after applying the paper.
Residue left on the surface after scraping
Scrape off as much softened paint as possible. Clean the surface thoroughly with water and a stiff brush or sponge to remove any remaining residue. Allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding.
