Painting without sanding: fast results without dust or sanding

Do you want to paint a wooden floor, paint furniture, or perhaps even freshen up your window frames without spending hours sanding first? Good news: with the right product and proper preparation, you can paint perfectly well without sanding. In this article, you will discover how to paint wood both indoors and outdoors without a sander – with durable and beautiful results.

If you are going to paint a surface that still has an old layer of paint on it, sanding is usually necessary. Unless you choose a smart solution: the Osmo Paint Stripper. This paint stripper loosens existing paint and varnish layers, allowing you to repaint the surface immediately without sanding.

The Osmo Paint Stripper works on solvent-resistant surfaces such as wood, stone, metal, and concrete. Ideal for when you are going to paint a cupboard, want to paint a staircase, or want to tackle window frames, for example.

Benefits of Osmo Paint Stripper:

• Removes old paint and varnish layers in one treatment
• No dust from sanding
• Low odor and suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Also works on multiple layers at once

Note: only use the stripper on materials such as wood or metal. Avoid contact with plastic or laminated surfaces. Cover surrounding areas well and wear protective clothing.

1. Stir well
2. Ready to use, does not need to be diluted.
3. Apply to the surface
   Apply the product thickly with a brush or spatula. Cover with plastic sheeting to prevent drying out.
4. Allow to soak in
   Soaking time varies from 30 minutes to several hours. For thick layers, sometimes overnight.
5. Remove paint layer
   Remove the paint with a trowel and rinse with warm water.
6. Repeat if necessary
   Sometimes a second round is needed for stubborn paint.
