Tools and Hardware Reviews of SoyGel Paint and Urethane Remover Stripper 1 GallonCustomer Review: Temple Summary: 4 Stars
I have been in preservation for over fifteen years and have tried all manner of chemical and mechanical stripping tools for paint removal. Although soy-gel is not as fast as the methelyene chlorides it is by far the fastest "natural" stripper available. It is the safest for the user, altough gloves are recommended it does not burn on contact and does not melt plastic tools. I found that if a surface has a mixture of paints i.e. oil, and latex, usually the latex is ontop the soy-gel softens the latex first, pulling it away from the underlying paints preventing it from softening the oil/lead paints below. After this is removed another application of soy-gel removes the rest of the paint. Clean up although messy is simple, just water I recommend 3M pads. Be sure to collect the waste water and dsipose of it in accordance with local regulations regarding hazardous waste, especially if you are removing lead paint. This is where most chemical strippers shine it contains the lead paint in the gel keeping it wet and thereby eleminating friable particulates that one could breathe in, or have settle on ones clothes. It does have a chemical smell so if indoors be sure the space is ventillated, I am not aware if the smell has any side effects. On vertical surfaces be sure to protect the floor below with plastic sheeting, (soy-gel will run a bit), this also helps with cleanup during the process and at the end. In all an excellent product with few short comings. Happy stripping.
Description of SoyGel Paint and Urethane Remover Stripper 1 GallonSoy Gel is a safe industrial strength and consumer friendly paint, varnish, and urethane remover made with 100% American grown soybeans. It is non-flammable, non-caustic, nearly odorless and is effective on wood, concrete, stone, brick and metal surfaces. The low evaporation rate of SoyGel and its gel formulation make it possible to remove several layers of paint in one application. During the removal of lead based paint, lead becomes encapsulated in the gel, preventing airborne lead particles, allowing for safe and easy disposal. SoyGel does not discolor nor raise the grain of wood. The gel formula also allows for use on vertical and horizontal surfaces. SoyGel contains no methylene chloride, is not an alkaline based stripper and cleans up easily with water. Unlike more traditional paint strippers SoyGel lets you work without the odor. Indoors or outdoors, you can be guaranteed a safe restoration process with SoyGel.
