FOR USE AS DIPPING STRIPPERS

1. The dipping tank should be filled to the desired level. The tank should be made of heavy-duty polyethylene, stainless is preferable. Steel construction may be subject to deterioration if paints being removed have corrosive components.

2. Keep container sealed when not in use to minimize evaporation.

3. A wire basket or screen at the bottom of the tank will be helpful in removing loosened paint from the stripping solution. The screen size should be fairly small to remove as many contaminants as possible.

4. Immerse the parts to be stripped in the Dip-Strip A or B liquid. Time of stripping will depend on the type of paint being removed, the number of layers of paint and the temperature of the paint remover. Adding heat will improve stripping action. If heat is used, keep liquid at a temperature of 130-150. Stripping time may vary from minutes to overnight.

5. After removal of stripped parts, immediately remove from the dipped surface any loosened or remaining paint on the surface. Compressed air, water wash or hand remove.

6. If the stripped surface is porous, be sure to dry a minimum of 24 hours, and preferably 48 hours or more before repainting. Residue of paint stripper left in the wood may adversely affect new paint application if not dried properly.

FOR USE IN FLOW-OVER SYSTEMS

1. Use Dip-Strip A & B in your flow-over system as you would any other flow-over formula. However, due to the safer nature of the paint stripper formulations, the material may need to circulate over your piece being stripped for a longer period of time.

Note: The surface being stripped, temperature, and type of paint or material being stripped will affect stripping time.

Note: Dip-Strip B is waterbased so it has the potential to raise wood grain or darken hardwoods. Wood should therefore be treated appropriately after paint or varnish removal.
