How does Smart strip compare to Peel Away 7 for removing multiple layers of paint from brick (sand brick) outside?? Hopefully someone else already tried both and compared??Paint is likely oil or milk based (at least the under layers). Thanks!!

I use Watertite for many art projects, more than for any industrial purposes. I do know this paint will stick to metal pretty good, cleaning tools, as it does scrape off,but not easily. I don't know how well this paint will hold up in the transition in temperature between concrete and metal, as both expand and contract at different rates. I can only imagine you will expirience cracking where they meet. I guess that's where chalk comes in! But This stuff is pretty good. It has a nice natural quality, not to mention its psi value, like as in ideas for ponds. Eg an exposed copper pipe, or galvanized pipe. This product is a bit pricey for experimenting ,but it is good for any masonry inside or out that you want whitened, as in masonry porch posts, or porch walls, and or especially basements, and will be quickly used up, if you find that your experiment fails. By the way you can tint it, or even thicken it into a paste, using white Portland cement. It may not address your question, but Watertite does work well on auto body resin (bondo) I like that it is sandable, and is excellent for repairing concrete statuary, leaving repairs,patches,and replacements virtually invisible and marble like when polished, with bees wax, or car wax. Good luck JC

I'm sure you're talking about thinning the tung oil with the solvent when you say cut it. It will still be fairly thick. I just used a two inch sponge brush to apply and I did not wipe it at all. A little goes quite a long way if you wipe it with a rag you'll just absorb it into the rag and ultimately waste it. I highly recommend using the real milk paint solvent if that's not what you had in mind. The people at Real Milk Paint can easily be found online for advice.

I used this on a metal RV roof and had such undesirable results I will NEVER puchase it or any other product like again! I Have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find one that will do what it claims "Snow Coat" came the closest. If you read the lable on the Kool Coat can.. It is nothing more than an outdoor Latex paint.What I finaly did find that not only works well (And I would asume it does for fiberglass as well) is AMES "IRON COAT" Mobile home and RV roof coating. It is "Elasomeric" and bends with out cracking and should do well on fiberglass even coated with another product. The Bus I coated it with had some other kind of paint on it I did not remove before coating...

I have been using these for years - and I just bought a new set.... I have never had a problem peeling them off. I have used them on closet doors and a flat kitchen wall. The comment about the chalk is correct - but I purchased my own (soft) and it works perfectly. The last time I put these up I had to re-position them - and it was really easy. Perhaps I have a newer paint job than the other commentators - but I had no problems.

Chalk does work on this board, it must be traditional chalk, not "dustless" or "dust free" chalk. Those types have a coating or some type of binder in the chalk that makes them harder. We were able to get one of the dustless chalk sticks to work by "starting" it on a rough surface. It was like some kind of coating was rubbed off and it exposed the soft chalk.One brand that worked well was "Kids Art" from CVS Pharmacy $1.29 in a box of 20, indicates "merry brite" brand. I could not find that on Amazon when searching the name or the UPC.I agree with Kevin C, the marker that comes with the board is easier to use and cleans with water.

Depends on how many times you need to strip. We bought a gallon for a bedroom and stripped it twice w that. It's a thick gel formula so it only gets on what you put it on, until it dries and you scrape it off.

Garth~ The Minwax Finishing Wax is great! Goes on smoothly and has almost No scent at all. I too have used Briwax and I'm trying to use it up (outside) on my refinishing pieces because I don't like the oder either. I recommend that you purchase Minwax. I think you will like it and I also liked the price (1/2 of what Briwax costs!)

It works great removing paint. It peels the paint. Very Strong. Try something else, if is not paint what you are trying to remove...maybe a degreaser...

If applied to a totally clean exterior..and i do mean scrubbed wiped and dried, wipe new does do a good job. The car should remain in the garage and out of the sun for 48 hours. I know the directions say 24 hours, but the sun will ruin the finish if not totally cured. Having used it on 2 cars, I would never use it again. It is unforgiving if a mistake is done. Based on the cost, surface prep and application restrictions, I would buy 12 oz of your favorite exterior treatment and redo the trim as needed.

This is fine "cut" cleaner, though it's called Mirror Glaze(which is confusing-look at the red meter on left, and go lower to get finer grits), and #5 is surely an abrasive for removing scratches, heavy oxidation, etc....and should not be a repeat process over the same panels. When the panel is free of scratching(if not too deep), move to finer grit, swirl remover #4, before getting to non-abrasive "show car glaze", and/or wax. Hopefully not letting it get away from you, by washing and waxing often, maintaining the clearcoat...hope this helps.

The palm sander is a strong and easy to use, Sounds like you need heavy grit sand paper. do a search on what type of sandpaper strips power coated paint.

Dear Mary, Amazon asked me if I'd respond to you about a question that you asked about "Sheer White" products. I'll do my best to help you out. I use the "Strips", & there so easy & work like a "Million Bucks" !! The "Kits" are "One & the Same". They do however make those "Trays" as well, but Doc Lee said that their "Very, Very Costly" !! He added that if you choose to use the Strips (which I did) you'll get the "Same Results" but it just takes a little longer. Either way Mary, these things are "Out of this World Great", & it's "SOOOO Refreshing " to finally find a Product that "Really DOES what it says" !! In my almost 67 years on Earth, I've been "Blessed" to have found three Products that "Truly Do what they Claim"!! The Sheer White Strips, Cover Girl "Clump Crusher" Mascara, & last but certinally not least, Mr. Clean "Magic Eraser's" !! Be sure to order your Strip's from Amazon, as you get two boxes (of 5 each) for "Less" that the Dentist charged me for just one Box!! Please do keep in touch & let me know how you "Love" this Product! My name is Laska, & my handel is dawggymaw@aol.com, or dawggymaw@att.net. Be "SURE" you put in the subject Box that it's "You", otherwise I'll delete the letter. Take Care, & "GOD Bless you & yours" !! :) :) :)

i called liquid glass themselves about this very question. they said the 'pre-'cleaner' [PC] will remove ONE layer of 'liquid glass' [LG], more than 1 layer will require mineral spirits (too scared to try that!?!. the PC says on the bottle something about removing paint and was hoping it would remove the touch-up paint, i let the PC sit and then buff 3 separate times and didnt see it removing the touch-up paint, said the hell with it and put more LG back on the areas where i used the PC and am now ready to start piling on the LG. i probably should have tried the mineral spirits on the touch-up paint but too worried about what else may happen to the original car paint. (if anyone is interested..... they offer their highest wax for only $12,500!!!!)

I had to use UnDu adhesive remover to take care of that. It removes the adhesive strips completely without leaving the residue that other brands leave. It's the absolute best.

Rita,That is exactly why I bought this paint. I sanded the ring where paint came off on bottom of microwave with heavy sanding paper then with very fine grit paper. Wiped it clean. Sprayed light coat of paint, repeated 3 times. I even painted some stained areas on sides and top of inside microwave and it turned out beautiful. Makes my microwave look clean and new inside!!!This paint is fast drying. Remember not to hold can to close to what you are painting or it will run. I took my microwave out on pick nick table so I could turn it every which way that I needed.It is working great for us. Painted several months ago and holding up great.
