sugar soap
I'm sure that man years ago I (and my father-in-law) used to use Sugar Soap
as a paint stripper. I have bought some recently, and it doesn't mention paint stripping on the label and it definitely isn't up to the job. Do I have to get a recognised paint stripper these days. Regards, Les Eaton |

sugar soap

as a paint stripper Probably was in connection with paint preparation not stripping. It is a great degreaser. I usually use it to wash down surfaces before painting. Do I have to get a recognised paint stripper these days. There are alternative options to paint stripper depending on surface and size of the job but I am not aware of other products that double as a paint stripper. Moira |

It's a cleaner you use on sound paint before re-painting etc. Strippers are different. -- *We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse.

Excellent paint work cleaner prior to repainting, wouldn't be any good for that if it did strip paint. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
