Xcoat FAQs
There are many reasons why Equisol Xcoat did not remove your previous coating fully. The below is a quick troubleshoot on the most common:
- Xcoat cannot remove some coatings, such as 2Pac or epoxy finishes
- A large build up of multiple coats makes it harder for the stripping action to get through all coats. It may need a second application of Xcoat to remove all previous finishes
- Timber to be stripped must be dry when you apply Xcoat. Wet timber will significantly reduce Xcoat’s ability.
- Keep Xcoat damp with continuous water misting. Do not let dry out. The chemical reaction that strips the old coating will stop if it dries.
- Leave Xcoat on long enough for the old coating to lift. Test it with a soft scraper. If it does not come away from the timber yet, it’s not ready.
- Remember the second application of Xcoat over the first one after 30 minutes.
