Soy Gel

Sorry, haven’t been checking the forum lately. Depends on how many layers of paint. I usually apply in the morning and scrape in the afternoon. Make sure to put it on thick–a coat of about 1/8 in is best. If there is a lot of paint, you can leave it on overnight, just put some plastic sheeting over it so it doesn’t dry out. Also, I’ve found that after the scraping it is really helpful to scrub the surface with steel wool–you can get it a little wet with water–helps a lot on the detail. Then wipe the whole thing down with a wet paper towel. Best of luck with it.

Does anyone know a local place where I am able to buy Soy Gel or must it be purchased online only? Thanks! fitch

I don’t think they sell it in stores. I’ve always found it on Amazon. Also, that stuff is the best. Just stripped a door and a bunch of tile last month. As long as you give it time to work it is so much better than toxic zip strip.

Thanks! Jim, I ordered some from Amazon and received it today. I applied it to some test spots on my mantle and some trim work on the parlor floor now. Any advice on how long to let it work?
