8 Surface preparation Surface preparation: 1. Removing old paint and antifouling Removing old paints and antifoulings can be easier with Paint Stripper, which is a highly effective solvent based paint remover, and can be used on most painted or varnished surfaces. • Test a small section to see how long the whole job is likely to take. • Apply Paint Stripper liberally by brush or roller a dry surface. • Take caution on plastics (it may harm some thermoplasts). • Don’t do too big an area at once. • Leave for 15 – 30 minutes until the paint coat dissolves or lifts. (Antifoulings, alkyd paints and varnishes react quickest, silicone and epoxy take longer.) • We recommend putting aluminium foil over the treated area to help stop active solvents evaporating. • Scrape off old paint; clean with hot water and Pre-Clean. • Old or thick coatings may need a repeat treatment. Key Advice: If you’re using a hot air gun, use at low temperature and take great care. Alternatives to Paint Stripper Abrading. Use coarse paper for coatings, being careful not to damage the substrate. Wet abrade antifoulings to avoid inhaling toxic dust particles. Hot air guns can remove paints and varnishes, but not antifoulings as toxic fumes are released. Don’t damage/burn the substrate! Paint scrapers work for varnishes and paints, but not antifoulings.
