ATCO's STRIP-IT gel-based paint & varnish remover quickly penetrates deep to remove paint, lacquer, shellac, enamel, varnish, labels, carbon deposits, silicone, simulated wood paneling and other similar materials from all surfaces. STRIP-IT will not run once applied, as its gel-based formula clings to vertical surfaces, allowing longer contact time. The methylene chloride free formula is a safer alternative to paint removal.  STRIP-IT washes off with water or solvent and is safe to use on metal, brick, ceramic, wood and tile surfaces.
