The Original Paint Removal System - Since 1981 - The Peel Away® I System includes an alkaline paste that is spread over the surface to be stripped. The paste is then covered with out patented Peel Away® Paper to control evaporation. Allow paste to dwell on the coatins for 12 - 48 hours depending upon the number of coats and types of coatings being removed. After appropriate dwell time, the paste and softened paint can be removed onto the paper using a scraper. Any remaining residue can be removed with a sponge and water or a power washer. Finally, the stripped surface msut be neutralized using Peel Away® Neutralizer.
