Anyways, after giving it 24 hrs to "cure" I decided to give it the big pull. Regardless of it's name you don't actually peal away the paint. When I tried pealing the paper, only the paper came off, so I had to help the paint off with the included scraper. The paint did come off, but not all the layers. I was left with a green paint layer that was real hard and did not wat to come off. I don't know if this if some kind of super hard paint or what, but it was near impossible trying to take it off. I had to hammer at it just to chip off the paint. So I decided to leave it there and take pictures instead.
This is what is left over after "peeling" off the paper, I don't know what it is, but it's hard to get off.
Here is the top part of my columns. I just hope the paint comes off on this one.
Oh I just added these pictures to show you our new heating system in our house. Sad isn't it? Good thing that we are getting our new system in tomorrow. Yippee!!!!

I want to try some of that stuff.
Also, you can leave it on longer than 24 hours. The longer it is left on, the more paint it will go through as I have learned. What I found with the Peel Away paper is that it allowed the remover to dry too quickly. I went to dollar store, bought cheap aluminum foil and left on for up to a week. The paint came off in huge, thick patches and I only had to wipe down with denatured alcohol to remove the left over residue. You might want to experiment with this as I did. Try it on a small area first. I love Peel Away. Best of luck.
Um, your "title.gif" header is leaving a huge black blob on the web page. It seems to be missing.
