Prominent Features

« Specially formulated for removing old
finishes without raising the grain, harming the patina of fine wood or loosening glue joints.
« Gentle enough for use on veneers.
« Removes varnish, lacquer and shellac.

 

Uses Ideal for furniture, including fine antiques.

 

Limitations Extremely flammable. Do not use water for cleanup because it can raise wood grain or loosen veneer or glue joints. Do not use on linoleum, rubber, plastic, fiberglass, asphalt tile or other synthetics. Do not use to strip floors or anyplace a flammable stripper might be hazardous. Liquid No Wash will remove many types of paint, however, we recommend semi-paste or heavy body removers for best results on stripping paint.

 

Surface Preparation None required, although user should try to keep the surface horizontal. Carefully read all precautions and directions before use. Protect hands with solvent resistant gloves and eyes with safety glasses. Protect surrounding areas with solvent-resistant drop cloths.

 

Application Carefully read all cautions and instructions before use. Apply with an old, or disposable brush. For intricate work flow remover on. Contain excess using absorbent material such as cardboard or rags. For flat surfaces allow the remover to stand undisturbed until the old finish softens enough to be removed with a putty knife. Apply a generous amount of product to surface being stripped. To reduce the concentration of flammable vapors, limit application to an area no larger than two feet by two feet at a time. Some finishes may require more than one application. To remove any remaining deep stain from wood, scrub with household bleach or oxalic acid solution and steel wool.

 

Clean Up Wipe away residue with mineral spirits or paint thinner.

 

Disposal Contains organic solvents which may cause adverse effects to the environment if disposed of improperly. Place empty containers in normal refuse for disposal. Contact your local sanitation department or household hazardous waste coordinator for information concerning possible reuse or disposal of unused solvent-containing products.
