How (where, what) do you use the tester/samples ? What if I do not have collected dust? My area is on peeling paint from drywall that is always wet

Scrape the peeling paint sample, I collected dust from above the door jam. I tried to go as close to the smell as possible. Mine turned out to be the mulch outside my apartment door, that was pushed up against the house, under the window where I smelled mold strongest. But if you have wet drywall, depending on where it is, you should check your caulking around windows, doors etc. Get a plumber in and have them look for a leak.

I misaligned a piece and pealed it back and it took off some paint. My walls are new tho, if that has anything to do with it.

I have gold spray paint. Please allow me to test and I'll respond back with a reasonable answer before you go to any expense on your own.

It's un-findable. I have something else I use but am working on a painting right now. No time to look into it to answer. Why are you asking me? How did you get info to contact me??? WHO IS THIS??? HGaus

I just run water and a towel or rag and clean the accumulated dust off. I let it air dry and stick it back on (steel case). Won't hurt anything.

The swabs are dry and there is no cleaning fluid included. I use Eclipse from Photographic Solutions.

I had this in my previous apartment, as someone else mentioned, I had a black line, from the rubber above the frame and in the door frame where the bar rests, this can be removed with a "magic eraser" cleaning product, (a plain old pencil eraser seems to work as well). But I also started to get some cracks on the upper right corner of the wall where the door was. Not sure if this was because of there bar (I assumed it was). For the record this was a really cheap built apartment with paper thin drywalls.

Well we have a brush that scrapes off all the burnt pieces. So scraping of the black paint was never a problem. But if you don't have a brush then i would recommend getting one or washing it by hand every time you use it! Hope that helped!!

I was fortunate and didn't have any residue left. Try using a little goo gone. Don't really have anything to lose if you can't use it all sticky

I haven't had a chance to test the tester out. There are sites on the internet you can check on and I tried to find some instructions on this - sorry.

I'm going to guess that the paint was more than a little oxidized when you used the pre-cleaner, and now you have a gooey concoction/mess of dried, oxided paint and remnants of the cleaner. You CAN use "clay" as a clean-up tool, but it's going to be a protracted process. My recommendation is to purchase a gallon can (only qty. available) of either Dupont Prep-Sol or Acryli-Clean DX330. These are automotive paint shop grade degreasers. They will remove all traces of the mess you have, and you can use them for all degreasing/wax/road tar-removal tasks. Both work equally well, so I suggest you purchase by PRICE and AVAILABILITY. Typically, you will need to visit an automotive paint retail outlet/shop. It's worth the effort. You can expect prices to be in the $30-$40/gallon range. Wear nitrile or vinyl (not latex) gloves or your fingers/hands will be de-greased, as well! Good luck.

if you have chalkboard paint that is painted on a wall and the wall behind the paint is porous (like drywall) you may have trouble removing the chalkers. Also if the backing on the chalkboard you use is porous, you may have issues with it erasing as well. I suggest that you test the chalkers on an inconspicuous spot and leave it overnight before using them on a large area.

I painted my furniture with a good coat of grey paint then apply a black latex. Once it dried I applied the liquid crackle (comes liquid). The black paint (top coat) started to smear and become wet when applying the crackle and the grey paint (base paint) became visible. What a mess! Tried several times but gave up.

my best guess is no.i would try scraping off as much of the tar substance as possible. i had paint that had been applied to my wall, and i spent a lot of time scraping and sanding it off.

Hi Faye, how widespread is the peeling? Also how many coats of clear coat did you apply? Is the paint exposed or do u have a clear coat left?

Suggestion: my heater did the same thing and I found that the front 'dome' and inside [where the blower motor is >> you will have to take off the outer cover], had a minute layer of dust that the unit somehow sensed. I used a dust brush, clean paint brushes, and some compressed air and blew what seemed miniscule particles away... IT WORKED. [my indoor parabolic quartz heater had the same problem which led me to try this....].. GOOD LUCK
