WELCOME TO OUR PAINT STRIPPING PROJECT

This project is presented by www.ecosolutions.co.uk

Summary: Stripping paint. Using paint stripper. Using a blowlamp. Using a hot air gun. Scraping paint. Cleaning paint off walls, wood, metal, pvc and other surfaces.


We get many questions regarding stripping paint from flaky walls, door and window frames etc. The best advice we can give, unless you want to spend hours and hours sanding down, is to strip back to a sound surface, be it the original wood or plaster work, and start again.Here is a product which is taking the market by storm. A user friendly, solvent free stripper which is guaranteed not to harm the surface you are stripping.

TESTIMONIAL:

Question to Diydoctor:

 The previous owner did not stabilise the walls prior to using emulsion
paint and then continued to wallpaper.  Now the wallpaper has been removed
some of the paint has come off and some of what left is flaking.  I have
been told that I should remove all of the paint using a scraper but this
would take forever. How should I continue?

Answer:

It is possible to sand down the "edges" of the flaked off areas using an
electric sander Claire but its very messy and possibly more time consuming.
See our paint stripping project, the stripper there is quick and effective
Good luck and keep in touch...Doc

Reply to answer:

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, I used the water based paint stripper and it worked a
treat.  The paint came off like wet lining paper, although you had to watch
out as it dried quite quickly.
I was able to strip the whole room (12" X 11") in a day.
Thanks again.
Claire
