How to use DIGGERS™ Paint Stripper
Applying to Surfaces
1. Apply a thick coat using a paint brush. Allow the paint to soften and blister. Penetration time depends on the age, number of coats, and quality of the paint.
2. Use a paint scraper or steel wool to remove paint before it rehardens. For delicate timbers, use a non-metallic scourer. If paint remains, apply a second coat.
3. Wash the treated surface with water to remove residue, or use DIGGERS™ Methylated Spirits if water may raise or swell the timber.
