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:	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

Product description

Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip XT Pro is a stripping disc that uses silicon carbide abrasive mineral incorporated into a purple nonwoven nylon web. It quickly removes paint, rust, mill scale, adhesives and other coatings from metal surfaces without damaging the base material. The fibers of this metal stripping disc are highly conformable without compromising strength, meaning improved effectiveness on workpiece edges. Here’s how it works: the silicon carbide mineral is embedded into the nylon fibers that gradually break down over time to reveal new fibers and fresh mineral – ensuring a consistent cut over the life of the product. The XT Pro disc is the next generation of the classic clean and strip rust and paint stripping disc. Compared to previous generations, this Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc offers low vibration, decreased chunking, low spark, a higher speed rating and longer life. That all adds up to a stripping disc you can spin onto your right angle grinder with confidence.

• NEXT-GENERATION PERFORMANCE – Features a higher speed rating, lower vibration and lower spark than previous Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip Discs
• HIGH-STRENGTH FIBERS – Performs well on edges with decreased chunking
• WORKS FAST – Silicon carbide mineral quickly removes rust, paint, mill scale and coatings from metal
• HIGHLY CONFORMABLE – High conformability provides a larger contact patch for faster removal rates
• REDUCED LOADING – Open nylon web reduces loading for consistent cutting action
