Troubleshooting
Paint is not lifting after application.
Ensure the poultice was applied thickly and evenly. Make sure the cover sheet was applied correctly. Increase the dwell time, as some paints may require longer. If the paint is very stubborn, reapply the poultice.
Difficulty scraping off the paint.
Ensure the poultice has had enough time to work. Use a sharp scraper and apply even pressure. Consider using a different type of scraper for better results.
The product is drying out too quickly.
Make sure the cover sheet is properly sealed to prevent evaporation. Work in sections if necessary to prevent the poultice from drying before it can do its job.
Residue left on the surface after removal.
Clean the surface thoroughly with water and a scrub brush to remove any remaining residue. Repeat the cleaning process if needed.
