Epoxy Garage Floor Paint Questions

Oil Stain Remover (OSR) questions


1. Will OSR remove oil stains from sealed concrete surfaces?

2. My husband spilled cooking oil on my composite decking (faux wood). Do you have a product that will remove the oil stain?

3. I applied another degreaser to an oil stain that had been on my garage floor for a long time. It did not remove the stain. Would you recommend OSR to remove old oil stains from concrete surfaces?

4. I purchased OSR to treat the oil stains on my garage floor. Do you think it would also remove paint overspray from the floor?

5. How long does it take OSR to turn to powder?


1. Will OSR remove oil stains from sealed concrete surfaces?
No. OSR is recommended for removing oil stains from bare concrete substrates. Sealed surfaces should be treated with a recommended degreaser; otherwise, the sealer could be stripped from the area as well.

2. My husband spilled cooking oil on my composite decking (faux wood). Do you have a product that will remove the oil stain?
Yes. OSR (Oil Stain Remover) can be used to remove cooking oil stains from composite decking. Apply a small amount of the OSR to the stain, agitate with a stiff bristled brush, rinse and repeat as necessary. Caution: Leaving the material on the surface for an extended period could result in discoloration; a small test area is highly recommended.

3. I applied another degreaser to an oil stain that had been on my garage floor for a long time. It did not remove the stain. Would you recommend OSR to remove old oil stains from concrete surfaces?
Yes. However, oil stains that have deeply penetrated the concrete often require more than one treatment and additional scrubbing to effectively remove the older, more stubborn stains.

4. I purchased OSR to treat the oil stains on my garage floor. Do you think it would also remove paint overspray from the floor?
Yes. OSR will actually strip the paint overspray from the garage floor.

5. How long does it take OSR to turn to powder?
OSR could take 4 hours or more to dry to a powder. Dry time of the material depends on ventilation of the area, porosity of the concrete, humidity and temperatures. It performs best in moderate humidity with temperatures above 70 degrees F. Dry time will be significantly longer in temperatures less than 60 degrees F.
