THE ADVANTAGES OF STRIPPING WITH COOPER’S: NO SANDING Cooper’s is the logical method of restoring, one of the main features being that there is NO SANDING. This is achieved by the fact that underneath most finishes there already exists a sanded surface. Cooper’s have created a SYSTEM to remove the old finishes without damaging the original sanded surface, thereby foregoing the need to re SAND. Generally paint strippers can remove just what is on top of the wood and not the residue within the grain. Cooper’s removes the residue in the grain leaving the wood clean and the original sanded surface intact. NO BLEACHING - NO FURRING There are no harsh chemicals in the Cooper’s Preparation System to attack the wood so it is not bleached, nor is there any grain raising. The original sanded surface feels as smooth as it once did and is ready for finishing right away. NO DUST Stripping with Cooper’s is like reversing the paint drying process. As the paint collapses it turns semi liquid and can be wiped away. There is absolutely no dust and much less mess, a very important factor when removing lead based paints. WHAT CAN BE STRIPPED WITH COOPERS: STRIPPABLE MATERIALS The Cooper’s Preparation System can be used on almost every type of solid wood, wooden veneers and ply boards. You can also use it to strip paints off concrete, metals, glass and some plastics. Inside your home use Cooper’s to remove your old finishes from: Ceilings & beams Panelling & architraves Windows Doors & surrounds Floors Furniture Outside your home use Cooper’s to remove old unstable paint before repainting: Weather boards Windows Entrance ways & porches Concrete steps Some other application ideas: Professional restoration Boats (inside & out) Car restoration Industrial plant & machinery FINISH TYPES All types of paint can be stripped from the old lead based preparations found in older homes, through to enamels and acrylics. Special paints such as powder coats can also be stripped. Anodised aluminium is not affected. Clear finishes such as polyurethane, lacquers, 2 pot marine finishes and shellacs strip particularly well. Special projects such as lino glue, boat anti-foul and epoxy coatings on concrete usually strip very successfully. More About Finishing Back To Top <<Back
