Avoid working in direct sunlight or wind. Wear Circa 1850 Stripping Gloves and protective eyewear. Protect work area with polyethylene or foil sheet. Pour some remover into a foil or metal container. Brush a generous coat onto .1-.4m² (1-4ft²) of surface and let stand for 15 minutes or until paint blisters. Keep area being stripped completely saturated with stripper. If stripper dries out, reapply to reactivate. Remove softened finish using a scraper. Use Circa 1850 Maple Scraper to avoid gouging wood surfaces. If finish is exceptionally thick and some residue remains, repeat the procedure. Remove finish residue with Circa 1850 Finishing Pads or steel wool dipped in remover. When clean, wash surface with Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper or Klenk's Mineral Spirits. Allow surface to dry. Sand wood surfaces lightly prior to staining or refinishing. For interior use or intricate surfaces use Circa 1850 Furniture Stripper. Contents may be under pressure. Place rag over cover and open slowly. If container is warm, cool prior to opening.
