Overview

The PeelAway 1 and 7 Sample Twin Pack contains a sample of both the PeelAway 1 and PeelAway 7 poultice system to help you decide the most suitable version to use for stripping paints and varnishes. It is also perfect for assessing application thickness and necessary drying times. Each of the sample pots contain 150g of poultice, a plastic applicator and plastic blanket to cover the poultice once applied. Approximate blanket size: 34cm x 41cm

Surfaces that have been over-painted for decades may require an application of PeelAway 7 initially to remove the more modern top coats of paint from the last 30 or 40 years, followed by an application of PeelAway 1 to remove the older metal and lead based paints commonly used in the early 1970's and prior.

If required, the neutraliser and spare blankets for PeelAway 1, and PeelAway 7 are available.

Preparation

Areas to be stripped should be cleaned to remove dirt and debris from the surface that may restrict contact and adhesion of the PeelAway poultice. Ensure that any surfaces not intended to be stripped are covered and protected from this product.

Application

Always do a small test area to confirm performance and compatibility before starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Test Area

Test patches are vital for this product. Mask off a small area and apply the paste at different thicknesses to determine which thickness is required to remove the layers of paint or varnish. Leave each test area for up to 12 hours and see how effective each has been. It is recommended that 3 test strips are done, 1mm, 2mm and 3mm, before starting the project to determine how much PeelAway is required to be effective.

Application of PeelAway 1

  1. Apply PeelAway 1 with the supplied spatula or a synthetic brush
  2. Then apply the PeelAway blanket (supplied) over the paste and rub gently to ensure good adhesion and to remove any air bubbles
  3. The blanket delays the drying process, thus allowing the paste to work more effectively and should be left at least over night or up to 48 hours depending upon the results of the test patches - the more layers of paint, the longer the peelaway paste should be left
  4. Once the paste has permeated all of the layers of paint, the blanket can be removed with the Peelaway Easy Grip Stripping Knife (sold separately)
  5. The stripping knife can also be used to remove any remaining residual paint from the surface

Spray Application

  1. Peelaway 1 can be diluted with water for spray application through an airless spray system such as Wagner, Titan and Graco
  2. To thin the PeelAway for spraying, add between 10°C and 15°C water (maximum) and mix thoroughly to ensure that the water is evenly mixed with the product
  3. When spraying PeelAway Paint Remover, always wear protective overalls, goggles and a suitable face mask

Application of PeelAway 7

Peel Away 7 will work slower under 5°C and will not work if temperature falls below 0°C. This product will not remove baked enamels, cement based paints or some types of 2 pack epoxy coatings.

  1. Apply PeelAway 7 with the provided spatula then cover with the PeelAway blanket
  2. Rub gently to ensure good adhesion and to remove any air bubbles
  3. Leave blanket between 30 minutes and 48 hours depending upon the results of the test patch
  4. Once the paste has permeated all of the layers of paint, the blanket can be removed with the Peelaway Easy Grip Stripping Knife (sold separately)
  5. The stripping knife can also be used to remove any remaining residual paint from the surface

The product looks like it should do what I would like it to, have not had time to use yet.

Should do what I want it to do.

Great size for testing

Good price, good size to test out which was best before I went ahead and got the big tub. Nice clear instructions

Unsuitable for the large area I had to strip

Peel away 7 was the effective one removing varnish but as stated not suitable for the large area that needed stripping.I had to resort to Panther paint stripper and even that required several applications.

Good product to decide on best one to use on ceiling rose

I had a Victorian terrace that had some original features still in place. We used this sample to see which one was best suited to removing many many years worth of paint on a ceiling rose that looked like it was hiding some nice detail.

Strong and effective

Beats using the usual brush on paint stripper. Stronger and much cleaner. Like the title says, you just peel away after a couple of days it it just falls off with a prod of the scraper. Game-changer for paint stripping.

Good product!!

Bought the sample pack and went on to buy the 15kg Peelaway 1. Took 200 years worth of old paint off!! Very pleased with product and as usual Wood Finishes are excellent!

Not as good as I thought from the advertising

I’m stripping a Victorian staircase and this product just didn’t work for me despite following the instructions and trying 3 times. So that’s why I’m not going to buy anymore

Satisfying to see the product work, less messy

Makes getting rid of paint in intricate areas easy, less mess and easy to clean up afterwards

Says what it does on the tin.

Had to remove paint from Yorkshire punched stone and bought sample to see if it worked and it did.

Does what it says it does, removed paint from our fireplace no problem

Enabled us to determine which ‘peel away’ to buy

It was fantastic at stripping multiple layers of paint from some external stone Victorian decorative features

Good product, worked well

Great product and well worth trying the tester pots to see which works best for the job.

S

Excellent. Did what it needed to do. Will use again soon.

I chose this product because its especially useful in exterior applications where treatment surfaces are proximate to sensitive botanical specimens. The greater control offered by the peel away dynamics is more respectful of environmental concerns without compromise to the efficacy of the process.

Ideal to work out which PeelAway product is needed

Cheap and easy way to test the PeelAway products to find which works for you. It was clear that Peelaway7 was what we needed from the results so we ordered and it worked well.

Not perfect but good at getting paint off wrought iron staircase

Gets most off but still requires a good session of scrubbing and picking bits off. My only 'complaint' is that the neutraliser turned all the ironwork rusty so now spending ages with wire wool to get that off

Perfect ...if it's what you need...

I got this so I could try out the Peelaway system, and it is certainly good at what it does... you spread the stuff on, cover it with the plastic film supplied, come back the next day and the paint is stripped. But you have to be quite generous with the stuff and it isn't cheap, so it's for those jobs which you can't do by the traditional, and cheap, methods. For me it was stripping varnish from thinly veneered plywood. Perfect.

Useful sample pack

The sample was very useful in gauging the type of peelaway needed and how much would be needed. Not an easy product to use though. I used it on a painted bumpy stone surround and brick surface. Some parts came off easily, other bits were harder. Washing it off wasn't easy on an indoor vertical surface. But the final result is lovely.

Brilliant customer service and excellent quality product

Brilliant customer service and excellent quality product. I needed 2msq of oak to fix my floors. They manage to find the exact matching tone, tongue groove, thickness, wood grain etc, sent me lots of free samples and made it so easy. We can't tell the difference from the old floor and new parts. Recommended!

Andrew Wilkinson
Great product

It's brilliant that you can test between the two different products as they both preform well depending on what kind of paint you are stripping. Would highly recommend.

Good product but patience required!

Used on masonry, lots of scrubbing required to agitate and took several days to penetrate the existing paint. 1 didn’t work but 7 did.

The sample pack is great for just this reason, it can show you not only which of the Peelaway is right for your project, but also how long to leave the poultice on for and how thickly to apply it, for an effective strip. If you do need any further advice, our friendly team are available to help on 01303 213 838. All the Best Samantha.

Great to be able to test which type works best before choosing which product to commit to.

Very good product - enough to do a few trial patches on different areas to see which works best. Quick delivery & fair price.

Makes paint stripping very easy

Easy and safe to use. Gets the job done very well although I did use a conventional paint stripper as well just to tidy up a very few stubborn bits without having to wait 48hrs for a 2nd coat of Peelaway.
