General Description
The Paint Eater™ is an excellent surface preparation tool when preparing solid wood,
wood siding and masonite siding for paint.
Do not use Paint Eater™ on textured
siding or shakes.
The Paint Eater™ has been designed to perform a number of tasks associated with
surface preparation. It will remove paint chips and feather the paint edges; it can be
used to remove paint oxides and mildew; and will abrade the painting surface and
provide for excellent paint adhesion. The Paint Eater™ is the perfect surface preparation
tool for large, flat, solid surfaces.
