It is not recommended for use on some types of glass, plexiglass, some plastics, vinyl, drywall, or rubber. If you do not see your substrate in this section, or are unsure of compatibility, perform a small test to determine product efficiency. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Testing:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways perform a test with Smart Strip Advanced BEFORE a full-scale application. Testing is the best way to ensure product effectiveness, application thickness, and proper dwell time for your specific project. Failure to do a test patch may result in failed or unnecessary additional applications, or application of the wrong product. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreparation:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepare the surface by pressure washing or rinsing the substrate to remove any loose debris or coatings. Allow the substrate to dry before applying Smart Strip Advanced. Protect and cover all areas with plastic where paint removal is not desired. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication \u0026amp; Spread Rate:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply using a brush, roller, or airless sprayer. Product should be applied approximately 1\/8” to 1\/4” (3.18 mm to 6.35 mm) thick, depending on the type of coating and number of layers being removed. Refer to prior testing for the best results. When a second coat is required, 1\/8” (3.18 mm) thickness should be sufficient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor an airless sprayer, ensure it can pump at least 3\/4 gallon per minute or greater. Use a new 3\/8” (9.5 mm) hose line with a .17 to .21 textured tip. Remove all filters and lower the pressure before spraying. Do not leave any remaining product in the sprayer or spray line for an extended time. Keep a clean bucket of water available after use to alleviate clogs and flush the pump. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Strip Advanced uses a water-based gel formula that must remain in a wet state to work properly. After application, it is recommended to cover the paint remover with Dumond® Laminated Paper (sold separately) to speed up the removal process, prevent premature drying, and aid in clean up. Cover the Smart Strip Advanced gel directly and gently smooth the paper without pressing too firmly to ensure there are no visible air pockets. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDell Time:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe time required for softening\/lifting of coatings will vary according to the number of layers present, the type of coatings being removed, and the surface temperature. Pre-project testing will help determine the proper work time. Higher temperatures will speed up the removal process, but the product may dry out more quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow 1 - 24 hours to remove paint layers. Check the remover periodically to ensure Smart Strip Advanced hasn’t dried out or hardened. If this occurs, the paint remover will stop removing the coating beneath. If this has happened, apply another thin coat to hardened areas to reactivate the gel. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRemoval:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA NOTE ABOUT REMOVING STAINS \u0026amp; VARNISHES FROM WOOD: Agitation at the conclusion of the removal process is necessary to completely remove the stain or varnish from the wood substrate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo remove Smart Strip Advanced, use a scraper or pressure washer. When using Dumond® Laminated Paper, remove, scrape, and clean 1 - 2 sq. ft. of covered area at a time. This will prevent other sections from drying out during cleanup, making removal difficult. Insert a trowel, spatula, or paint scraping tool underneath the paste and lift with the Dumond® Laminated Paper while slowly scraping. Scrub all surfaces clean with a sponge or nylon bristle brush and water, or a pressure washer. Rinse thoroughly with water to ensure all remaining residue is removed. Collect paint and product residue in plastic bags and dispose of it in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf Smart Strip Advanced dries, it will harden and adhere to the substrate. If this has occurred, remove as much Dumond® Laminated Paper as possible, and apply additional Smart Strip Advanced to the surface to reactivate the dried material. Let sit for 1 – 2 hours and then fully remove. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dumond Chemicals","offers":[{"title":"946ml (Quart)","offer_id":40547498983479,"sku":"3332C","price":29.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.78L (Gallon)","offer_id":40547499016247,"sku":"3301C","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18.9L (5 Gallon)","offer_id":40547499049015,"sku":"3305C","price":498.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/5400\/2231\/files\/DumondSmartStripQrt1080x1080.jpg?v=1707165855","url":"https:\/\/shop.thepaintpeople.com\/products\/dumond-smart-strip-advanced-paint-remover","provider":"The Paint People","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
