Safe, quick & easy paint removal without the odor
Soy-Gel is an industrial strength and consumer friendly paint, varnish, and urethane remover made from 100% American grown soybeans. The lower evaporation rate of Soy-Gel and its gel formulation make it possible to remove several layers of paint in one application. During the removal of lead based paint, lead becomes encapsulated in the gel, preventing airborne lead particles, allowing for safe and easy disposal. Soy-Gel contains no methylene chloride, is not an alkaline based stripper and cleans up easily with water. Unlike more traditional paint strippers Soy-Gel gets you through the paint removal process without the odor. Indoors or outdoors, you can be guaranteed a safe restoration process with Soy-Gel.

Application
Soy-Gel is safe to use on wood, brick, stone, concrete, metal, plaster and many other surfaces. Do not use on plastic, PVC, rubber or dry wall. Soy-Gel may be used indoors or outdoors. When used outdoors, protecting plant and vegetation with a plastic drop cloth is recommended. Soy-Gel may be used on vertical as well as horizontal projects.
- For paint removal, apply a thick layer of Soy-Gel™ to the coating to be removed by pouring, brushing or airless sprayer.
- If applying by brush do not apply as you would paint.
- Lay on a thick even layer up to 1/8 of an inch.
- Don’t brush or scrape the surface until the stripper has had the time to work.
- Check the progress of the stripping action by using a scraper to see if the coating is softened down to the surface.
- If not, wait longer and recheck. Soy-Gel™ will remain wet and working for several hours. Longer is better. Let the stripper do the work.
- If Soy-Gel™ is left to sit for long periods of time outdoors, cover with a light plastic poly to prolong the stripper’s wet time.
- Once the coating is softened, remove it with a scraper or other stripping tool. Always wear protective clothing, rubber gloves and glasses.
- Avoid skin contact.
- Reapply stripper, if necessary.
- Repeat steps above.
After use, clean remaining thin residue with water, using a scrub brush, cloth or fibrous scrub pad and rubber gloves. Allow surface to dry before further preparations. If residue is difficult to remove with water then use TSP (trisodium phosphate) and water. Scrub the surface and wash with clean water. To remove dark iron stains or pet stains use Oxalic Acid once the wood is dry.
