Product Description
Tru Strip is a biodegradable, industrial-strength sealer remover designed to break down and lift a wide range of coatings from concrete and other surfaces without the harsh feel of many traditional stripping products. It is very user-friendly, easy to apply by roller or sprayer, and highly effective on most standard sealers used on concrete, masonry, brick, metal, and wood.
Tru Strip provides strong stripping action on acrylics, urethanes, glues, varnish, alkyd paints, latex paints, lead based paints, and even some epoxies. One of its biggest advantages is that it emulsifies the coating as it breaks it down, which means once the material is released from the surface, it cannot re-cure. That makes removal more complete and helps prevent partially loosened coatings from resetting during cleanup.
It can be sprayed or rolled on, allowed to dwell for a few hours, and then wiped or washed away. Coverage will vary depending on coating thickness, but typical range is about 100 to 250 square feet per gallon. It is also available in a 1-gallon container. As with any coating remover, it is best to test a small section first and follow the product instructions before moving on to the full surface.

This has changed what I thought of strippers. They have never worked completely in the past so resealing never looked as good. This took longer than I thought to work but after allowing it to sit all day in the hot sun, I could pressure wash everything clean, right down to the original concrete. Even grout lines. I never gotten that before. Even less smell than the soy junk too. Sold me on strippers again.

This product is amazing… because it actually works !!! Based on the number of sealer layers that needed to be removed, it took longer than I anticipated… but, that was my fault because I was the one who sealed the concrete too many times!!! This is the approach that I followed: 1. apply a heavy coat of stripper to an area; 2. scrub the area with a very stiff bristle broom; 3. apply a second, lighter coat of stripper; 4. wait an hour or two; 5. slowly and methodically power wash the area. The sealer lifted off in very small pieces; basically, right down to the bare concrete. Caution: be sure to trim back any/all vegetation (that is near the area to be stripped) about three inches to prevent damage to those plants. The product does not have a very bad or strong smell. Note: it takes a while to remove or get rid of all the suds / residue, so be sure to properly rinse the stripped area to ensure the “white” suds / residue is completely gone before beginning any finish work (like antiquing or sealing).

I had to strip a concrete countertop of some water based sealer. This took care of it in about 2 hours. scraped it then scrubbed clean with detergent. Warning, be careful with this. When I was mixing it up some of it dropped onto a painted desk. It took the pain off in drip marks.

One of the worst jobs is stripping sealer off concrete. It still stinks but at least this stuff makes it easier. I have used it twice and both came out pretty clean. One of them was sealer that was only a month old. That took longer but after two full treatments it worked. Good enough for us.
