How to Use

SURFACE PREPARATION

For indoor application, open all windows and doors or use other means to assure a constant supply of fresh moving air during use.  Do not use Piranha 2 in poorly ventilated areas. Ideal working temperature is between 65°- 85°F. Avoid direct sunlight. Protect floor coverings and other areas not being stripped.  Do not use on synthetic fabrics, plastic, linoleum, asphalt, foam products or rubber tile.

APPLICATION TOOLS

Apply Piranha 2 with brush or airless spray equipment.

  • Brush: Synthetic, nylon or polyester bristle
  • Spray: .017 to .021 tips

PRODUCT APPLICATION

Stir well before using.  Open pail carefully to avoid splashing.  For best results, test a small area to determine the appropriate thickness, and duration of time required to most effectively remove the lead-based paint.  Brush on a thick layer in one direction for best results.  Brushing back and forth opens up the anti-evaporation barrier, which forms on the initial pass. Allow Piranha 2 to work 5-15 minutes before performing a test scrape to determine how much paint has been lifted.  Once Piranha 2 finishes removing the paint from the surface, scrape it away with putty knife, cloth or steel wool.  Clean substrate with a mild detergent solution to remove any residues. Collect waste in a metal container and dispose of all waste in accordance with existing regulations.  Piranha 2 does not require a neutralizer.
