To use Klean Strip Green Paint & Varnish Stripper (QKGS75023-XCP4) effectively and safely, here’s a quick step-by-step guide: - Prep the Area: Work in a well-ventilated space. Protect surrounding surfaces with drop cloths or plastic sheeting. - Apply Generously: Use a brush to apply a thick, even coat to the surface. Don’t skimp—thicker is better for deep layers. - Wait Patiently: Let it sit. This formula stays wet and active for up to 24 hours, giving it time to penetrate multiple layers. - Test & Scrape: After 15–30 minutes (or longer for stubborn finishes), test a small area. If the coating bubbles or softens, gently scrape it off with a plastic or metal scraper. - Repeat if Needed: For multiple layers, you may need a second application. - Clean Up: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or use mineral spirits if recommended. Let it dry completely before refinishing. This stripper is low odor, indoor-safe, and free of methylene chloride and NMP—a solid choice for eco-conscious DIYers.
