Preparation
Areas to be stripped should be clean and clear from dust, debris or any substance that will restrict contact witht the surface

- Paint Panther is a crossive substance, please ensure to wear suitable clothing including gloves and saftey glasses
Note: Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
Application
Note: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin. We recommend to test a small patch first before applying to the entire surface
- Apply in temperatures between 5 and 25 degrees celsius.
- Shake the container well before applying the Paint Panther.
- Protect all close areas not being stripped with suitable sheeting.
- Do not score if the previous coatings are thought to contain lead.
- Pour a quantity into a suitable container, and replace cap.
- Apply by brush, add a liberal amount by dabbing onto the coating surface and allow to blister, which usually occurs within 10-15 minutes, then apply additional product, rubbing well into the formed blisters
- Allow to penetrate for a further 15-30 minutes before trying to remove a small area using a shave hook or stripping knife.
- Use a stiff bristled brush for awkward areas. Only apply to an area less than ½ metre square at a time.
- Collect removed waste, for example on a newspaper, and allow to dry for a couple of hours before disposing via appropriate waste disposal route. Some local authorities have special facilities for disposing of waste paint and coatings.
- Wipe the surface clean with white spirit or methylated spirits. Water can be used but it may raise the grain on certain wood substrates. Allow to dry.
- Finally rub with fine sandpaper or a stainless steel pad before redecorating.
