Best way to remove Peelaway 1 residue
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.30 PM
Hi I'm using peelaway 1 to remove many years of paint from a house I recently bought, so far mixed and patchy success but I'd like to know the easiest and quickest way to remove the residue. I've used a sponge and water but this just seems to smear the residue over the wood, leaving an orangey residue. Any tips on how I can remove this?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Warm soapy water( washing powder) stainles steel scourer from kitchen isle at super market keep wipeing with cleen cloth as you go, small areas at a time.otherwise you could try putting a little peelaway on to reactavate the older peelerway and follow same process. dont forget small areas at a time

Without stating the obvious its always best to wait the recommended time allowing the Peel-away to dry, then a light sand with a fine paper. Prime with a really good wood primer or undercoat.
Sometimes its worth giving the undercoat a light sand and then re apply the primer for a light second coat.
A decent topcoat will finish things off nicely.
