This fast-acting aerosol paint and varnish stripper also makes an excellent decal and gasket remover. Easily removes epoxies, enamels, acrylics and polyurethene. This combination of methyl alcohol and chlorinated solvent is powerful yet safe on most surfaces like wood, plaster, aluminum, steel, brass, iron, copper and stainless steel. This thickened formula will cling to vertical surfaces to extend the dwell time necessary to remove even the most built up soil. The solvents in this product are volatile and can damage certain plastics and floor tile, especially the asphalt variety. Trucking companies, body shops, marine and oilfield companies often use this type of stripper for various jobs including the removal of paint, oil, grease, stubborn adhesives and carbon from blower covers, valve covers, rental equipment, appliances and machinery. Use by spraying directly on the surface, allowing time for it to work and then rinsing it thoroughly.
