FAQs

Is this product safe for all types of wood?

It is safe for most wood types, but extra caution is advised for fine or laminated wood. Using wire wool with white spirit to clean off residue can help avoid raising the grain.

How long should I leave the stripper on the surface?

Leave the stripper to soften or dissolve paint for around 15 minutes initially. It can be left for up to 40 minutes, with re-application if it dries out. Time will vary depending on paint type and thickness.

What safety precautions are essential?

Always wear protective gloves and eyewear. Extinguish all ignition sources and ensure maximum ventilation. Do not use in enclosed spaces. Special caution is needed for lead-based paints.

Can I use this on plastics?

The product is designed for metal, wood, and brick. Avoid contact with plastic parts, as they may be damaged by the stripper. Ensure tools cleaned with the product do not come into contact with plastics.

How do I dispose of the waste paint and stripper?

Collect waste in newspaper and leave it outside to dry completely. Once dry, dispose of the contents in the bin according to local regulations.

What is the best way to apply the product?

Shake the can well for 2 minutes. Spray liberally onto the desired surface from a distance of 15-25cm, ensuring a thorough and even coating.

Does it remove graffiti?

Yes, the Bartoline Paint Stripper is effective at removing graffiti along with paint, varnish, lacquer, and adhesives.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not softening or blistering effectively.

Ensure the product was shaken sufficiently before and during application. The paint layers may be too thick, requiring a longer dwell time or a second application. Check that the surface is not too hot or cold, as extreme temperatures can affect performance.

Product is dripping excessively.

While designed as non-drip, very thin application or extremely hot conditions might lead to some run-off. Apply a thicker, more liberal coat and ensure the surface is within a normal temperature range. This is less likely with the gel formula.

Tools are not cleaning properly after use.

Ensure tools are cleaned immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Stubborn residue may require soaking or using a stronger solvent (check compatibility with tool material).

Vapors are strong even with ventilation.

Increase ventilation by opening more windows or doors, or use outdoors if possible. Wear appropriate respiratory protection if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Before use, protect surrounding areas with newspaper or sheeting if necessary. Always wear protective gloves and eyewear. It is critical to extinguish all ignition sources such as fires, pilot lights, and hot surfaces, as the product can produce highly flammable vapors. Use outdoors whenever possible. If used indoors, ensure maximum ventilation by opening all windows and doors. Do not use in enclosed spaces.

Directions for Use:

  1. Shake the can thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes before and regularly during use.
  2. Spray liberally onto the surface from 15-25cm away for even coverage.
  3. Allow the stripper to soften or dissolve the paint for about 15 minutes.
  4. Apply a second coat if needed and agitate with a wire or nylon brush/scraper.
  5. Let it work for up to 40 minutes, reapplying if it dries out.
  6. Remove blistered paint with a scraper or shavehook.
  7. Wash off residue with detergent and cold water using a nylon scourer. For fine wood, wire wool with white spirit can be used to avoid raising the grain.
  8. Ensure the area is fully dry before refinishing, rubbing down with fine sandpaper or wire wool if necessary.

After Use: Collect all waste on newspaper, leave it outside to dry completely, and then dispose of it in the bin. Clean tools thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Avoid contact with plastic parts as they may be damaged.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on metal, wood, and brick surfaces.
