-ASR Acrylic Stain Remover is a ready-to-
use, premium quality, exterior wood stripper for all types of acrylic
deck and siding stains. In just 15 minutes, DeckStrip-ASR will cut
through and remove relatively new or weathered acrylic/latex
solid and semi-solid stains, including those labeled 100% acrylic.
With the aid of a highly concentrated formula, special wetting
agents and a thickener for vertical surfaces, tough-to-remove
acrylics are quickly dissolved and easily rinsed away with a
pressure-washer – no scraping or sanding required. Once
stripped, wood is restored to its bright, clean, natural look. Using
DeckStrip-ASR before re-application of a protective finish or stain
ensures its proper adhesion, penetration and optimum
performance.
.FEATURES .
Safe to use - no methylene chloride or caustics.
Spray on, pressure wash away.
No scraping or sanding.
Clings to vertical surfaces for one application stripping.
100% Biodegradable – safe for grass, plants and
shrubs.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .
Before You Start: Make sure entire wood surface is dry and free
of dust, dirt and debris. If the surface is hot to the touch or in
direct sunlight, dampen with fresh water to cool. Apply when
outside temperatures are above 40°F. Pre-rinse grass, plants
and shrubs surrounding the wood structure to be stripped, then
cover foliage to protect it from exposure to the product. Mask off
siding and cover all wood surfaces not intended to be stripped.
Cover any exposed aluminum surfaces (siding and flashing) to
prevent corrosion. Protect adjacent concrete surfaces from rinse
water. Sweep away surface dirt and debris. Remove any
standing water before beginning application.
PRODUCT APPLICATION CONT. .
Weather Conditions:
For best results, apply when outside temperature is above 50°F
(10°C), and when 24 hours of precipitation-free weather is
expected. Surface to be stripped should be out of direct sunlight
to avoid premature evaporation of the product.
A synthetic bristle brush or mop, pump sprayer or airless sprayer
(with no aluminum parts) is recommended. When working on
vertical surfaces start at the bottom and work to the top of the
structure.
Safe Handling directions must be followed to avoid exposure to
over-spray. (See Handling and Storage section)
CAUTION: Bare wood and/or coated surfaces can become
slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces.
Prepare to Use:
Moderately shake container, then pour into sprayer tank. If using
a brush or mop, pour product into a 2-1/2 gallon plastic bucket.
Do not mix with any other products.
Apply:
Working on 20 sq. ft. at a time to maintain optimum surface
wetness, apply product and let sit for 15 minutes. If stripper dries
prematurely, keep it wet with additional product as needed.
Rinse Pressure Wash:
Using a 40° tip and 1,500-2,500 PSI for pressure-treated
wood and hardwood, 500-1,000 PSI for Cedar and Redwood,
pressure-wash the surface to rinse away dissolved coating.
Move lengthwise with boards to avoid cut marks across grain.
Repeat steps until entire surface has been stripped. When
finished, rinse surrounding grass and plants thoroughly.
Rinse Brush and Hose:
If pressure washing cannot be employed, vigorously scrub
surface with a Wolman WOODWORX
®
Deck Brush or other
stiff, synthetic, short-bristle broom or brush for several minutes
using moderate pressure. After brushing, rinse thoroughly with a
garden hose, using the highest pressure nozzle setting available.
On a vertical surface, continually rinse stripped areas to avoid
streaking. Rinse any wood fibers off surrounding surfaces
immediately. When dry, surface should appear clean, bright and
free of previous coating.
Repeat steps until entire surface has been stripped. When
finished, rinse surrounding grass and plants thoroughly.
Note: After stripping Cedar, Redwood or exotic hardwoods,
black tannin stains may rise to the surface and give wood an
overall darkened appearance. If this occurs, treat affected areas
with Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener liquid concentrate to
restore the natural wood color. DeckStrip ASR is not designed to
remove tannin bleed stains.
