Q3: I applied the RemovALL product but it doesn't appear to be working. How do I know if it's working?A3: After applying the product to the surface, you should notice tiny little bubbles forming on the top of the surface. When you see those, you know it's working.
The RemovALL products are based on SARA technology (Selective Adhesion Release Agent), which works by releasing the bond between the coating(s) and the substrate (surface).

Q4: How much paint will the RemovALL take off?A4: Depending on the type of paint, the RemovALL products will remove anywhere from 3-9 layers of paint.
The product must be applied one and a half to two times the thickness of the coating you're trying to remove. You should simply not be able to see your underlying paint.

Q5: How long does the RemovALL products take to remove the paint?A5: : The best way to determine this answer is to do a test area. Apply the stripper on a small area of your project. This will tell you exactly how the stripper will perform and how long it will take.
The time really depends on what type of coating you're trying to remove and how many layers of paint you're trying to remove. Coating removal time will vary anywhere from 2 to 24 hours.

Q6: I did everything right, but the paint stripper did not take off all of the paint. What do I do now?A6: There are a few reasons why this happened.
- You might have applied too little of the RemovALL paint stripper. The paint absorbed it all and it stopped working. Remember that you should not be able to see your underlying paint after you have applied the paint remover.
- Your project was in the direct sun during a very warm day and the paint absorbed the stripper too quickly.
- Your project might have been painted with latex paint overtop of oil paint or vice versa, resulting in bad adhesion between the layers. In that case, the stripper will travel through the first layer or two then stop because it believes it has reached the surface.
In situations like these you will need to scrape that paint that has been lifted and re-apply more RemovALL product.

Q7: Do I need to do anything after I stripped my project?A7: After the coating has been removed, a simple rinse with water will neutralize your surface. You do not need any other chemicals to neutralize the product.
Neutralizing is necessary if you are going to re-apply paint to your project.

Q8: I'm going to buy an airless sprayer to apply this product, what do I buy?A8: RemovALL products work the best with sprayers that are higher grade/industrial-based. Sprayers such as those made by Titan, Graco (nothing smaller than a Graco 495 model) and Lemmer work well with the RemovALL products.
Beware of lesser quality sprayers sold at large retail stores. (See application instructions for further information)

Q9: I'm trying to remove graffiti from my brick wall, which RemovALL graffiti remover do I use?A9: Multi-Purpose Paint Stripper or RemovALL 330 will remove graffiti on non-painted porous surfaces (brick, cement, concrete, wood).
If you have metal or plastic surfaces (non-porous) or painted porous surfaces, the Graffiti and Gunk Remover or RemovALL 400 product will take care of the problem.
