Problems and Solutions

Gel Paint Remover dries on the surface

Causes of the Problem

• Waiting longer than necessary for Gel Paint Remover to be cleaned from the surface.
• Application with intense sunlight or strong wind

Solution:

• Since it will be difficult to scrape the dried gel paint remover from the surface, paint remover should be applied on it again and the scraping process should be completed in a controlled manner within periods that will not cause drying.
• To prevent the problem from recurring, it should be checked periodically whether the paint remover and old paint react or not, without allowing the gel paint remover to dry. If the reaction is completed (the paint layer is easily scraped off the surface), the scraping process should be started.

Melting of applied brush bristles

Causes of the Problem:

• Using a synthetic bristle brush

Solution:

• Brushes made of synthetic bristles can melt by reacting with gel paint remover. Brushes made of natural bristles should be preferred in the Gel Paint Remover application.

Frequently Asked Questions

I applied a single coat but it was not enough, can I apply again?

Depending on the thickness and type of the old paint on the surface, a single coat of paint remover may not be sufficient in some cases. In such cases, the second layer can be applied to parts that are not dismantled in the same way.

Do I need to do any additional work after removing the old paint from the surface?

You can clean the old paint and paint remover residues on the surface with a damp cloth and after the surface dries, you can do the sanding necessary for the paint you will apply. If wood types such as chestnut, iroko, which contain high amounts of tannin, oil, and sap are used, this oil and tannin under the paint layer may have accumulated and smeared on the surface during the paint removal process. In such cases, to remove these residues on the surface, the surface should be wiped with cellulosic thinner after sanding and wait until it dries.

Is it effective on all paints?

In the tests conducted, it was observed that it affects water and solvent-based paint types such as alkyd, acrylic, polyurethane, cellulosic. Before use, you can perform a small test on your paint and check its suitability.

Can I use oil-based products on applied surfaces?

Since oil-based products do not form a film on the surface of wood, the paint remover will not show any effect. HEMEL Deck Restorer may be preferred for product removal from these surfaces or old oil on the surface can be removed with sanding.

Is it also effective in colorants applied to wooden surfaces?

Colorants penetrate the wood cells thanks to their low solid content and do not form an extra film layer on the surface. Therefore, paint removers are not effective on colorants.
