Wiggleplum Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hello everyone, Do any of you have or know of a good method to strip enamel from HIPS? The paint can be scrapped off with my fingernail, but goo gone doesn't seem to be doing much. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnenschein Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 You will need about 2-3 applications. The paint will get soft and can be rubbed off with a soft cloth. And wear gloves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read online that some people cover or put the items to be stripped in a bag to keep the fumes in. Is that necessary? Could I just spray it all over and let it sit without covering?
