Preparation†

(The following steps are recommended for best results.)

• SHAKE WELL PRIOR TO USE.
• Pour BEHR PREMIUM™ CONCRETE & MASONRY PAINT STRIPPER N0. 992 into a paint tray or bucket. If water seems to have separated out, stir product until uniform.
• For vertical and glossy or greasy surfaces, scuff sand the surface lightly with a medium grit sand paper prior to application to prevent sagging of paint stripper.
• Test Patch: A test area will indicate the time required to lift coating and the suitability of the product for the paint and substrate.
• Protect grass and any nearby plants by dampening these areas with water and covering with plastic drop cloths.
• Prevent all rinse solution from entering storm drains.

Application

• Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-80°F (10-27°C).
• Wear protective clothing, goggles, acid resistant gloves, and a NIOSH approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge.
• Apply a thick, even layer of stripper onto the surface using a paintbrush or an airless sprayer. Stripper thickness should be such that the original coated surface is completely covered.
• Spread rate is approximately 60-75 sq. ft. (6-7 m2) per gallon.
• Penetration varies according to coating type, thickness and temperature. COATING WILL WRINKLE WHEN THE JOB IS DONE. Most coatings will take between 1 – 6 hours to lift.
• Check periodically during the waiting period, to ensure that the coating is completely covered with the stripper. If the coated surface becomes visible again, re-apply a light coating.
• The stripper should remain wet and active until the coating wrinkles. If hot or windy conditions cause drying, re-apply a light coating.
• Use a scraper, squeegee or pressure washer to remove all coating and residue.
• The stripper is formulated to remove several layers of coating in one application. Some areas however, may require an additional application to remove all layers.
• The stripped surface must be rinsed with water thoroughly to remove all chemical residues before recoating.

Dry Time

• Surface dry time will vary, depending on air & surface temperature.
• Make sure concrete or surface is visually and completely dry to touch prior to recoating.

Clean Up

• If product comes in contact with painted or finished surfaces, rinse immediately with fresh water.
• Thoroughly rinse all surfaces, clothing and tools with fresh water immediately after use.
• Collect lifted coating and dispose of it in accordance with local government regulations.
• For disposal of empty containers and unused paint, contact your household refuse collection service.
