Application Procedure

Apply Stripex™-L liberally with a synthetic brush or roller.

Do not allow to dry on wood. If product dries, mist lightly with water or re-apply Stripex™-L.

Wait approximately 5 to 45 minutes for Stripex™-L to soften the coating. The coating should easily rinse off when ready. Agitate where required with synthetic scrub brush.

Rinse in direction of wood grain with a garden hose or pressure washer at low setting (500-1200 PSI) to reduce scrubbing. If brightening is required, use Simple Wash™ prior to applying Stain Prep™.

Wood can be protected same day with damp wood friendly Natural Deck Oil™.

Coverage

4.6 to 14 sq.m. per 3.8L (50 to 150 sq.ft. per US gallon).

Application Tips

Stripex™-L will strip oil and common latex deck stains including solid and semi-transparent stains.

For multiple layers of oil or latex paint, use RemovALL™ 220 or 320. Heavily weathered wood surfaces may look fibrous after rinsing Stripex™-L. Immediately brushing along the wood grain helps remove the loose fiber.

Wood rich in tannin may darken during restoration. If additional brightening is required use Simple Wash™ or Industrial Blonding Agent™. Stain Prep™ should be used to balance the pH of the wood surface before re-coating.

The result will be a longer lasting, even and natural looking finish.
