APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read entire label and PDS/MSDS before using. This product is to be used
directly from container and is not under any circumstances to be thinned
or diluted with anything before use.
Small Areas or Spots: Apply Epoxy Grout Film Remover to the surface with
a paint brush. Try to avoid getting on the grout joint. Allow to remain on the
surface for 20 - 30 minutes and check repeatedly for softening of the cured
epoxy film. You may need to allow for a longer cure time depending on how
long film was down for and amount of film left on the surface. Allow to
remain on the surface until the epoxy film is easily loosened. Remove Epoxy
Grout Film Remover and residual epoxy film using a stiff-bristled brush (not
steel wire) or coarse nylon scrubbing pad. Multiple applications may be
necessary for more difficult situations. After removing residue, scrub the
surface with a nylon pad and a solution of Mira Clean #1. Remove cleaning
solution with a wet vacuum. Rinse with clean water after use and allow to
dry.
Large Areas - Floors:
Pour directly onto the surface and spread liberally
with a brush or lamb’s wool applicator. Work small areas approximately 3
feet wide. Avoid stepping into the solution. Allow to sit on the surface 15-
30 minutes and agitate with a stiff brush. Begin checking for softening of
the epoxy film every 5 minutes. Once the epoxy film has softened,
remove it and the
Epoxy Grout Film Remover
with a wet vacuum, clean
towels or mops. Multiple applications may be necessary. After removing
residue, scrub the entire surface with a nylon brush or pad and a solution
of
H2O Strip
. Remove the cleaning solution with a wet vacuum. Rinse
with clean water where necessary and allow to dry.
