Trial Purpose:
Laboratory evaluations of alternative cleaning products
Date Run:
06/01/2003Experiment Procedure:
Basic cleaning performance testing was conducted using ASTM G122 as the bases for cleaning.
Cleaning: Brush on gel/paste strippers in one thick coat.
Run Time: Let sit 1 hour (60 min)
Removal: manual scrape with plastic spatula/scraper (Home Depot general paint scraper)
Drying: 72-hour dry time to allow for evaporation of strippers from wood.
