Why Test Patches Are Crucial:
- Accurate Assessment: Conducting test patches helps determine the appropriate thickness and duration for the paste application, ensuring efficient paint removal without damaging the substrate.
- Variable Conditions: Different elevations and weather conditions can affect the coating's adherence, making it essential to perform multiple test patches for reliable results.
- Optimal Timing: Identifying the correct duration prevents incomplete removal or potential damage from leaving the paste on too long.
Instructions for Use:
- Prepare Test Patches: Apply Peelaway paste in sections ranging from 75 x 75mm to 300 x 300mm, adjusting thickness based on the coating's age and layers.
- Apply Laminated Blanket: Place the Peelaway laminated blanket (print side out) on the paste, removing air bubbles and ensuring proper contact.
- Wait and Check: Allow the paste to work for 2 to 48 hours (up to 72 hours for thicker coatings), then gently lift a section to check if the original surface is visible.
- Adjust as Needed: If necessary, replace the patch and check again after a few hours until the optimal removal time is identified.
- Complete the Project: Once the correct paste and timing are established, apply the paste and blanket over the entire area, following the successful test patch results.
