I appreciate your help. My daughter
had her bathtubs refinished using the miracle methoud.
one of the tubs did well,but the other one did not. The
company was in another city, and over all , it was not
a great experience, and was costly. They are trying to
get their home ready for sale, and she is trying to remove
the peeling surface that resulted on the tub. Is there
a safe product, that she can use other than just continuing
to peel away. She can not afford to have it redone again.
Thank you for any information you can give me.

Hi Mary,
I am sorry to hear about the problem your daughter is having
with the failing tub finish.
The type of finish used for refinishing is very labor intensive
to remove and unfortunately requires the use of a paint
stripper. The most effective are products that contain methylene
chloride which is very hazardous to use.
There are some citrus based strippers that are more safe
to use but work very slowly and these can be purchased at
Home Depot in the paint department. It will require multiple
coats and patience but eventually the finish will come off.
She will still need to follow the safety precautions on
the container even though this type of product is much safer.
I wish your daughter well in her effort and with the sale
of her house. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Best regards,
DC
