Fact Sheet

DIRECTIONS:
Use in well-ventilated areas. #0168 Melt Down is fast acting and begins to break down finishes upon contact; floors will quickly become slippery – so use caution when wet.

1. DILUTION RATES: For most stripping jobs, mix stripper 1:5 (1 gallon in 5 gallons hot water). Test a 1:5 dilution in a small area first then increase or decrease the dilution as necessary.
2. APPLICATION OF STRIPPER SOLUTION:
   1. Apply a liberal amount of solution to the floor area.
   2. Machine scrubbing may begin with 2-3 minutes of application.
   3. Make certain to keep floor wet with solution; re-apply solution to areas that begin to dry. Because of the fast action of Melt Down, it is not necessary to “pre-soak” one area while scrubbing another. To avoid waste and drying out of product, do not apply Melt Down too far in advance of the scrubbing procedure.
   4. NOTE: If floor machine is not available or for areas not accessible with machines, such as church pews, mix Melt Down at a 1:3 dilution ratio; apply liberally and agitate with a mop head. When Melt Down has re-liquified old finish pick up with wet/dry vac. Do not allow Melt Down to dry on surfaces.
3. Scrub with a floor machine or automatic scrubber with proper pad or brush. Pick up solution with a wet vacuum or automatic scrubber.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if not sufficiently stripped or uniform in appearance.
5. Use neutralizer on first rinse. Use cool water on second rinse.
6. Let floor dry completely before dust mopping. Then apply sealer or floor finish as directed on the label of the sealer or finish.

NOTE: PRE-TEST BEFORE USING ON ASPHALT TILE, RUBBER TILE, OR LINOLEUM. If bleaching or bleeding occurs, do not use. Not intended for use on wood or painted surfaces.
