Intergrain Liquid 8 Timber Stripper is a fast acting, easy to use, water soluble gel timber finish and paint remover. Liquid 8 Timber Stripper is suitable for interior and exterior application. The N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and Methylene Chloride (MV)+ Free formula has been specifically developed for safer interior usage. With excellent softening and deep penetration that allows multiple layers to be stripped in a single application, Liquid 8 Timber Stripper quickly and effectively removes most water and oil based timber coatings including acrylics, polyurethanes and varnishes. Note: Not suitable for epoxies and 2-Pack oil based coatings. Environmentally responsible Liquid 8 Timber Stripper is free from Methylene Chloride and NMP which are found in most traditional paint and varnish strippers. This makes Liquid 8 Timber Stripper safer for interior usage, and gentler on the environment when compared to these traditional strippers.

Use in a well ventilated area. Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear protective gloves and glasses. Not suitable for epoxies and 2-Pack oil based coatings. Some oil based coatings will continue to bubble and strip even after the stripper has been removed.
Important use in a well ventilated area. Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear protective gloves and glasses. Apply a thick coat by broad synthetic bristle brush. Do not exceed coverage rates. Take care on vertical or overhanging surfaces as Liquid 8 Timber Stripper may drip. Allow 15-20 minutes to penetrate and soften or wrinkle the coating. Stripping times will vary depending on the type of finish, thickness of the coating to be removed, and age of coating. Test with a scraper to ensure that the coating is easily removed. Remove using a paint scraper or if appropriate a high pressure water cleaner. On timber surfaces, work in the direction of the grain. On curved or rough surfaces or mouldings use a synthetic hard bristle brush or scourer.
Important the stripper remains active while in a wet state. Do not allow Liquid 8 Timber Stripper or softened or wrinkled coating to dry on the surface. For best results cover with a plastic drop sheet to stop Liquid 8 Timber Stripper from drying out and work in small areas at a time.
Note some oil based coatings will continue to bubble and strip even after the stripper has been removed. Thick or stubborn coatings may require more than one application. Clean stripped surfaces thoroughly with water and allow to dry. Sand as necessary to remove any residue and any grain raise before refinishing the surface.
