Directions for Use:

• Protect hands with chemical-resistant gloves and eyes with chemical splash goggles.
• Shake well. Pour into a metal container and apply with a paint brush.
• After 30 minutes (up to 24 hours), scrape a small test area to see if finish is ready for removal. Gently scrape in direction of wood grain with a plastic stripping tool. For stubborn areas, use an abrasive stripping pad dipped into CITRISTRIP Paint & Varnish Stripper. A toothbrush, toothpick or stripping brush will help remove old finish buried in recesses.
• Use a paint stripper wash or Odorless Mineral Spirits with an abrasive stripping  pad to loosen remaining residue. Surface should be completely clean and dry before refinishing.

Helpful Tips: Test in an inconspicuous area before use on any plastic or synthetic surface as strippers can damage these surfaces. For best results, use in temperatures between 65° and 85°F and away from strong breeze and hot sun. Protect surrounding areas with a heavy plastic drop cloth.

Disposal: Allow liquid to evaporate and residue to dry outdoors. Then dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
