Stripping & Paint Removal
|
Question:
My bathtub has been painted with a coating and it is peeling
and flaking.
What can be done with it?, do I need a new tub or can it be
repaired?
Answer:
Your bathtub may have been refinished either by the homeowner
or
professionally. The most effective solution is to have it stripped
and refinished professionally again, this is not a do-it-yourself
installation. There are strong chemicals involved, specifically
Methylene chloride paint
remover, is the only thing that will remove epoxy paint, (most
likely that's
what is on the tub now),the room must be well ventilated and
it takes about
one to two hours to remove all the coatings on the tub surface.
Not a pleasant job to do, but extremely important.

Visit your local paint supplier for help in choosing the right
colors for your project. Most paint dealers have a decorator

floor tiles. There are a lot of old paint which cannot be scrip
easily - because it was not thick, just a layer of thin paint.
Please advise how should I remove all these paint?
Answer:
Try using denatured alcohol to remove the paint drips from your
floor. Denatured alcohol is available form your local paint
