User questions & answers

Question:	I’m stripping the paint of my stairs and there are a lot of deep grooves. Do you think this will be effective
Answer:	Should be fine for that. What year suburban? It is not suitable for plastics even in light contact, so be sure to remove any plastics on the vehicle that may be in the work area. I used these to strip down to bear metal on an older truck I'm restoring. Great at removing paint and rust with light pressure and low rpm. Very little metal is removed if any. Finish on metal is similar to 400-600 grit sand paper. Will leave a very coarse finish on heavily applied paint.
Question:	this more be a dumb question but is this safe to use on my car I have a heavy layer of rust on the top of my suburban will this help remove it
Answer:	Could work, but would likely clog the disc. These are best for removing costings that will create dust and not build up in
Question:	Need to remove some elastomeric paint from a deck, anyone used this product for that sort of thing
Answer:	This product will remove all paint if you are not careful.
Question:	Have aluminum rollup door thats baked on paint and painted lettering on it. Will this remove the lettering paint and leave the baked on paint

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone try this on an Airstream? Aluminum? Did it cause damage
Answer:	I would suggest using an old rag that you plan to toss out. I personally use old socks or undies that are too worn to keep or donate. I wouldn’t want to risk gumming up my expensive washer to try and save an old rag. I also like to put on a disposable glove, and then put the sock over the top of it so I don’t get wax all over my hand.
Question:	Does this product work on labels on furniture
Answer:	I just tested this for you, and YES! It works perfetly with the sharpie writing beneath the wax. Apply a thin coat and let it DRY, DO NOT BUFF OR RUB. (This may cause smudging). The sharpie marks didn't smudge or budge a bit. If blocks are painted also, the type of paint used may make a difference. Just make sure the paint is completely dry. Lisa. Chalk It Shop
Question:	Can you use this on a vinyl floor that has the old rubber backing of a throw rug stuck to it
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Used 3m 77 super adhesive aerosol to bind wallpaper to wall. will this product clean residual of adhesive from wall without impacting wall paint
Answer:	Sadly, yes you do. That’s the only downside with this case, BUT it’s has great protection for the iPad.

Question:	can it be used to remove a long time paint from my car
Answer:	This is a thick liquid...but spreads well...it says it can be applied to unfinished wood...But, I used it over chalk paint, did go on a bit darker than I liked, so next time I will use the minwax antique paste wax, when I want a lighter antique finish.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this disk come with the hardware (mandrel) to attach it to my drill
Answer:	This is too large to be used on a Dremel - works fine on a regular drill.
Question:	Can this work with dremel rotory tool
Answer:	It will gouge wood and may leave non-removable aluminum oxide dust in the grain. It is very course and cleans metal aggressively. It is not a wood-sanding product.
Question:	Can this be used to remove paint off wood or only metals
Answer:	I don't think it is hard enough to effectively remove iron. Even on aluminum, it doesn't remove very much material, by design -- it's intended to take off the paint but leave the metal. I have successfully used an random orbit sander on cast iron pans, you just have to be careful that the sandpaper doesn't contain anything that will make you sick.
Question:	Can this be used to grind smooth a new Lodge caste iron skillet
Answer:	These buffs are quite hard. They take and hold polishing compounds well and stand up to hard use. I use them in the restoration of older firearms and they work well. I recommend them.

User questions & answers

Question:	has anyone use this in a sprayer
Answer:	It can be sprayed. Best to use a commercial sprayer. You will need to remove all the filters and use a .031 tip size.
Question:	how does it do on wood
Answer:	It does very well on wood. Unlike some other environmental strippers like Peel Away 7 it isn't highly alkaline and doesn't require being neutralized, and thus there is no danger of darkening the wood. The #1 choice for wood in my opinion, and I have tried virtually everything. (One tip--cover the stripper with wax paper, plastic, etc. while you let it work so it doesn't dry out. Let it work overnight for maximum effectiveness.)
Question:	How many gallons would be needed for a 26 ft boat with a 10 ft beam
Answer:	I think you would need to ask to buy it by the barrel! We stripped both sides of a standard door and used over a gallon. There were many layers of paint, but you also have to put it on thickly for it to work properly. I would contact the manufacturer for suggestions on stripping a boat.
Question:	does it work on brick which has latex paint on it
Answer:	Yes it works great on stripping latex paint from brick interior or exterior.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work on any colors or just black
Answer:	Its better check with their website.
Question:	Looking for a swirl remover that i can buff guitars with. Looking for a mirror finish will this product work
Answer:	Yes. This wax is very easy to work with. If you need to see how it works on wood look up Annie Sloan was on wood on utube. This wax however will not protect surfaces from long periods of standing water. I have covered coffee tables and side tables with it but always advise to protect by using a coaster and wipe dust with a dry clean cloth.
Question:	what does a dark shine mean? i have a light honey burst guitar that i want to remove the swirl marks from. does this discolour the finish
Answer:	Yes, the wax can be used over latex paint. Buffing the wax is what makes it shiny, the wax has a naturally matte finish so apply it, wipe off the excess and just let it cure for a couple of weeks. Buffing the wax is what makes it shiny.
Question:	I am planning to use a hand to remove swirls from my car. do I use microfiber towel to rub against swirl spot or is there specific towel
Answer:	A little does go a long way, but you will need to apply two coats. If I wanted to paint a cabinet, I would buy two jars of the paint to be sure I had enough.
