How It Works
Chemical strippers remove about 2 layers per application. Detailed surfaces like molding use more stripper and take longer. Apply stripper thickly, cover with plastic wrap to keep it wet, wait 15-45 minutes, then scrape. Always work in ventilated areas and wear chemical-resistant gloves.
