Wood Stripper & Remover FAQ's

What is the best way to strip paint from wood?

We are often asked questions about the best way to strip paint and varnish from wood. Luckily there are some great products available today that make it a breeze. But there are 3 approaches that you might take. Sanding, a hot air gun or some form of stripper. But there are things that you need to know in order to make the right choice. For example, a hot air gun is not good for removing varnish as it will simply melt the varnish and make it gooey.

We've put together a very comprehensive blog post which provides all the information you need to make the right paint stripping choice for your project.

What is the best paint stripping product?

Paints and varnishes are made to different formulations by the various manufacturers and where one paint stripper works well on one type of paint, it might not perform as well on another. For this we recommend buying a sample or the smallest tin size first to test the effectiveness of the stripper on the paint or varnish to be removed. Paint panther is more suited to normal day to day paint stripping whereas the PeelAway and Klingstrip products are great for removing and restoring objects that originally had a highly decorated surface that has been infilled by paint over the years. A poultice removal system is especially useful for removing paint from ornate and highly detailed fireplaces, furniture, plaster coving, cornices and ceiling roses.

How do I remove paint from brick walls?

Removing paint from brick walls can be tricky because of the textured surface. For thick, multiple layers of paint, our first option would be the Klingstrip or Peelaway removal system. Use the sample packs to find the most suitable paint stripper. If using a jet wash to clean off the brick, ensure the pressure is not too high to avoid damaging the brick, or spraying the stripper on to other areas.

Can I use a paint stripper to remove a wood stain?

This depends on the type of wood stain used. Some wood stains are simply colouring liquids that colour the surface of the wood by soaking in to and staining the surface grain. These types of wood stains require a top coat of varnish, wax or oil to seal in and protect the colour and can be removed by scrubbing the surface with the relevant thinner. E.g. Water or white spirits. Sanding is also effective (or both).

Many products labelled as 'wood stains' in DIY chains are coloured varnishes, they are a sealer mixed with pigments that both colour and protect the wood. These types of wood stains can be removed with a paint and varnish remover.

Can I use a paint stripper to remove a wax finish?

We recommend the use of a dedicated wax and polish remover along with an abrasive scotch pad, wiping off excess with a lint free cloth.
