Eco Solutions Home Strip Paint & Varnish Remover review

How to use Eco Solutions Home Strip Paint & Varnish Remover

Put gloves on and use an old or cheap paintbrush to coat the wood with a liberal amount of Home Strip Paint &

Varnish Remover, the thicker the coating the better

Depending on the size of your project it can take just 5 minutes to apply the product

Leave it to work its magic

Just 45 minutes later you can start the next stage

Removing the Varnish or Paint on your Upcycling Furniture Project

You will need a bowl of warm soapy water (washing up liquid is ne)

Take a stainless-steel scouring pad, the same as you would use on a saucepan and scour the surface all over to expose

the wood

You will start to see the natural grain of the wood as the varnish comes o and as you work over the wood you can

wipe it with a dry cloth

Be aware it will dry back almost 3 times lighter

Home Strip Paint & Varnish Remover gets into the grain of the wood so when you scour it you will see the woods

natural grain come through

Any lumps and bumps of varnish will be removed

Giving a good scour and rub doesn’t damage the grain or the wood so don’t be afraid to do this

You can leave it on longer than 45 minutes and it won’t damage it. Even 24 hours later is ne. If the Home Strip Paint &

Varnish Remover has dried when you go back to it just spray it with water to reactivate it before you rub it down with

the warm soapy water and scourer
