05

Not for Factory-Finished or Baked-on Coatings

This water-based stripper is designed for aftermarket paints and varnishes on wood, metal, masonry, plaster, tile, and molding. It will NOT remove automotive paint, powder coat, appliance enamel, kiln-fired finishes, deck coatings, or any factory-baked-on coating. For those surfaces, this product is not the correct choice and should not be purchased.

06

DIY and Professional Paint Stripping

Our maximum-strength Max Strip delivers a powerful paint stripper that is easy-to-use for paint and varnish removal for home improvement projects on all surfaces, big and small.

07

Shake Well Before Each Use

Product must be thoroughly shaken before application for proper consistency and optimal performance. This is essential for best results.

08

Required Application Process

NOT INSTANT-ACTING — This stripper requires a dwell time of at least 15-30 minutes, and the application must be covered with plastic film during dwell to prevent drying. Heavy or layered coatings require longer dwell time and/or multiple applications. The product must be neutralized with water after scraping. These steps are required, not optional, for the formula to perform as designed.
