Description
EXPERT Butyl Boost™ is a professional-grade stripper enhancer formulated with 100% pure butyl cellosolve to dramatically increase the power of EXPERT Wood Stripper when tackling stubborn water-based coatings.
While traditional strippers work well on oil-based finishes, many modern deck stains and solid-color coatings are water-based, acrylic, or latex formulas that resist removal. That’s where Butyl Boost™ makes the difference.
By adding Butyl Boost™ to your prepared EXPERT Wood Stripper mix, you increase penetration power and coating breakdown, allowing you to remove:
• Water-based deck stains
• Solid color stains
• Acrylic coatings
• Latex-based finishes
• Multi-layer applications
• Difficult commercial-grade coatings
Why Use Butyl Boost™?
✔ 100% pure professional concentrate, no fillers, no dilution
✔ Enhances stripping performance on water-based finishes
✔ Reduces repeated applications on stubborn coatings
✔ Ideal for heavy restoration and refinishing projects
✔ Designed to work within the EXPERT 3-Step Wood Restoration System
This product is recommended for experienced users handling demanding restoration work where standard stripper strength is not enough.
After stripping, always follow with EXPERT Wood Brightener & Neutralizer to restore proper wood pH and ensure optimal stain adhesion.
When the job demands more power, Butyl Boost™ delivers the professional edge.
