Cleaning off Peel Away

[DLW]

what is the best solvent to use in order to clean off peel away residue/paper/excess. TIA

[Thorne]

What residue? What paper? What excess?

You'll want to be quite specific, as the various solutions are focused on particular substances.

residue of the peel away that i was unable to scrape off. There were about 5 layers of paint so i left on a bit longer than 24 hours and some it it dried with the paper still clinging to some areas. it is quite a mess as this was my first experiance with using this product. The paint was applied to fiberglass which was layed of the top of a wood hull. Just looking for some advice, the bottom is a mess right now and would like to be able to clean it up and fix the soft spots under the waterline before winter.

If you mean "Peel Away" (http://www.dumondchemicals.com/paint_remover.htm), Which one?

I had the same problem, when I was stripping my wooden snipe. My solution was to just apply more peel away to the affected area. It all came right off after 6 hours.

For many layers of paint, at least for wood, the 2nd coat or application, was the kicker to get to bare wood and eliminate excess sanding.

Hope this helps.

Try water.

i tried power washing it and that did not work, on top of getting under neath the affected areas of fiberglass that is coming up i figured this was not a good solution. I was look for some kind of solvent that would evaporated liek a 2333N or something to that effect.

The peel away that I used, sorry for the miss-spellings above was the "Peel Away Marine Safety Strip"

What does the label say should be used? With most paint removers that have been allowed to dry without being removed you just apply a new layer and make sure you pay attention to the directions on the container.
