This Directions sheet is supplied separately so that it cannot become damaged as a result of spills or drips while using our paint remover/stripper. Keep it away from the immediate working area. 

DIRECTIONS 

Remove all plastic materials and other items such as lenses, mouldings, windshield wipers, grills, mirrors, chrome, etc. When stripping door jams, remove soft rubber or cover it with masking tape before spraying. 

When stripping an entire automobile or boat, begin high and do small sections at a time. Work in a well-ventilated area where temperature is above 50 degrees and below 95 degrees. Do not work in direct sunlight or under windy conditions. Surface to be stripped should be cool, not hot. An open garage will provide the best working conditions.
