3M Safest Stripper safe near a furnace?
« on: February 20, 2009, 09:53:45 pm »
I have my arcade cab currently in my cellar. I want to strip off the cheap latex paint someone painted over it. Its a decent sized cellar . . but obviously, all the "cellar stuff" is there. Furnace, pipes, etc.

Is this safe?

 Non-flammable, non-toxic, doesn't burn, no ordor, cleans with water...

Can't see why it wouldn't be

The stuff I use burns me and everything it touches, makes you feel like its sucking your soul if you inhale it, and I'm pretty sure I've heard it make fun of me a few times.

Tell me how this stuff works once you've tried it

Considering you don't have to wear gloves or a mask, it should be pretty safe. This stuff can't be beat for stripping latex paint off of a surface you wish to preserve. It only removes one layer, and is awesome on vinyl. Always be sure to test what you use it on though. It did screw up a Xevious CP glass art.

Don't use it on anything that has any surface features.  I made that mistake on some window molding and it was damn near impossible to get off without sanding those features flat.  It got into every crevice and the curves in the molding made it really really really hard to get out.  Way more trouble than it was worth.
