Acryllic

[tunatussle 14]

Customer had deck raining and spindles painted with acryllic paint which failed.

Now she wants it removed. Tried HD 80 , did not even budge. Any ideas on

a remover. I seem to remember that Wolmans had a stripper called A & L a few

years back but don't remember much else about it. It was supposed to be able

to remove Extreme.

It costs about $35 per gallon and coverage is about 100-150 sq ft per gallon.

You think you may need solvent to get this off (i.e. paint stripper)? I have ended up walking away from a lot of these paint on deck jobs because of this.

try Bix paint strippers, nasty, not terribly expensive but will work well for this. Depending on the finish, you may have to strip one coat at a time. If you want a safe and easy product, try Removall 310, made by Biowash. Go to their website and find your local distributor, you'll have to order the product, about $150-200 per 5er. Works great---apply with airless and let it sit a few hours, come back and wash off. It will strip aobut 10 coats of paint i believe. It will strip the coating, but not restore the wood, so bid to strip, and then restore the wood with a naoh stripper or percarb.

This is an extremely expensive undertaking, and it may be in the customers best interest to build a new deck, depending on age, shape, wood species, etc. But rest assured, the job can be done.
