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:	has anyone use this in a sprayer
Answer:	I believe it is 90% Perchloroethylene. So, no it is not ammonia based. http://docs.crcindustries.com/msds/5090.pdf
Question:	how does it do on wood
Answer:	The red gallon is the more EPA-sensitive chlorinated version, the only size of it available in NJ. Only the green non-chlorinated formula is available here in the aerosol-spray size.
Question:	How many gallons would be needed for a 26 ft boat with a 10 ft beam
Answer:	I bought this before. It is only 1 container, which is one gallon size.If it was a case of 4 containers it would be a steal at that price
Question:	does it work on brick which has latex paint on it
Answer:	NO, this CRC 05090 product is not safe to use for cleaning before welding, heating or exposing to a flame. This product is a chlorinated solvent, Tetrachloroethylene aka Perchloroethylene and even when apparently dry rapidly decomposes into Hydrogen Chloride and/or Phosgene gas/vapor (chemical warfare weapons agents) when exposed to heat and/or flame, which are highly corrosive, toxic, damaging to human tissue, health and can be fatal.

User questions & answers

Question:	How would this product be for removing lacquer from brass door handles
Answer:	I would never use this product again. The powder you dip your fingernail in after the glue makes it like sandpaper and after spending a great deal of time trying to file it smooth I have yet to do it. Covering it with nail polish does not help.
Question:	Does this product remove automotive paint sprayed on a metal door
Answer:	I haven't tried acetone since I don't want to dry my nails out more. I Just re-apply over. At some point it may start to flake off. Then I just kind of help it along until the nail is clean then start over.
Question:	Is there enough in this can for strip paint off a motorcycle frame
Answer:	I just leave it on until it starts flaking off, but then I don't wear nail polish on top of it. I have a thumbnail that was tearing well below the quick and I have had that on for at least a month. I applied another layer just make sure it is stable but I probably didn't need it.
Question:	Will it affect automotive tires when removing paint from rims
Answer:	I do that because my nails really peel and split pretty badly. You just make sure you avoid the cuticles and buff it down so it's smooth.
Question:	Will this work on a wood garage door to remove marine polyurethane
Answer:	It’s a clear thick plastic. I did not buy it for outdoor use though but I just assume you can use it for outdoor. It might dry out if stay too long in different elements.
Question:	Is this stripper safe to use to remove paint from a fiberglass boat
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Is it supposed to dry? I’m used to paint strippers remaining wet and dry usually spells disaster
Answer:	I got it for my mom so no I don’t have a pic. However it isn’t that really thick stuff. It’s about medium thickness and lays nice on the table. We were very happy
Question:	Can you stain the wood after using this
Answer:	you can cut it to any smaller sizes you like

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this in regular 'plastic' spray bottle or will destroy it? Someone said use a 'chemical' spray bottle but i thought they were all they same
Answer:	Yes you can, it will help, but not like using a UV product over IT
Question:	This work with Glue from paint protection clear bra left over
Answer:	I used my electric file for my cuticles, acetone for skin. I did not want to use the acetone on my cuticles because that area of my nails are so dry.

Question:	Some idiot painted the tile in my shower. It flakes off every time it gets wet. I want to remove the paint in one go and be done with it.Willthiswork
Answer:	I use on natural nails with mixed results. If the tear is too big,(0.25 inch or larger) they do not hold well. I usually put them over the area that I had fixed with nail glue to give it extra support. They can last about a week with this method.
Question:	what is the grit equivalent, approximately
Answer:	Pure acetone on a cotton placed on each nail with aluminum foil wrapped on each nail. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Or soak nails in a glass bowl with pure acetone. Afterwards condition with coconut, almond or olive oil. Jojoba oil works too.
Question:	Can this be used safely on vinyl siding? Looking to remove paint and deck stain
Answer:	The tape is shiny but it's not a factor. I do my own manicures and they lasts 2 weeks. After cutting cuticles and buffing my nails, I do the following: 1) Apply, cut, and shape the Nail Repair to my nails 2) Apply protective top coat, usually Eccrinal (2 coats) 3) Apply color polish (2 coats) 4) Essie gel setter (2 coats) Hope this helps
Question:	What size is each block
Answer:	It will make your nails worse. Suggest taking Biotin. It’s good for nails and hair.

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
