Peel Away 1031 Neutralizer, Liquid, Characteristic, Clear, 1 gal

After using the Peel Away one heavy-duty paint remover, the pH level of the surface that was stripped can rise to above 8, which is highly alkaline. The Peel Away Neutralizer will help lower the pH to a safe level, anywhere between 5 and 8 on woods that are extremely difficult to neutralize, such as cedar, redwood and cypress. This pH neutralization is especially important if the paint-stripped surface will be repainted in the future. Once a surface shows a pH over 8, it should be treated with Dumond's non-toxic Peel Away Neutralizer and left to dry thoroughly. Wait a minimum of seven days before testing the pH levels again and applying any wood finishing product, coating or paint. To be sure the surface is dry, you can use a moisture meter to test that the moisture content is below 15%, which is then suitable for painting. The best painting can be done when the moisture content is at 12%.
