Peelaway 1 & 7 Tester Kits | Paint Remover Sample Pack

Description

What are Peelaway 1 & 7 Tester Kits?

Peelaway 1 & 7 Tester Kits are twin sample packs designed to help identify the most suitable Peelaway paint remover for your project. Each kit includes sample pots of both Peelaway 1 and Peelaway 7, allowing side-by-side testing on a small inconspicuous area before full application.

Why use a Tester Kit?

Every paint removal project is different.

Different paint types, coating ages and substrates can all affect performance. Using a tester kit helps you:

• Determine which Peelaway product works best
• Identify the optimum application thickness
• Establish the correct dwell time
• Estimate how much product will be required
• Minimise risk of substrate damage

Peelaway strongly recommends carrying out a test patch before every project.

What’s Included?

Each tester kit contains:

• 1 x Peelaway 1 Sample Pot
• 1 x Peelaway 7 Sample Pot

Supplied as a twin pack for side-by-side testing. Size: 2 x 150g sample pots.

What’s the difference between Peelaway 1 and Peelaway 7?

Peelaway 1

• Ideal for removing older oil-based and lead-based paints
