How To Strip Old Failed Sealer and Polymeric Joint Sand Haze

If you're dealing with cloudy, peeling sealer or white haze from polymeric sand on your hardscape surfaces—don't worry. There’s a simple, effective way to bring your pavers and concrete back to life.

🔧 The Solution: ProPeel Biodegradable Paint & Coatings Stripper

ProPeel is a made-in-Canada biodegradable stripper specifically formulated to remove:

• Failed acrylic sealers

• Polymeric sand haze

• Other stubborn coatings from pavers and concrete

This is a professional-grade solution that's safe for outdoor use and powerful enough for DIY projects too.

🧼 Step-by-Step Instructions

✅ Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Sweep or rinse off any dirt and loose debris. A clean surface helps ProPeel penetrate and lift coatings more effectively.

✅ Step 2: Apply ProPeel

Use a brush, roller, or airless sprayer to apply a 1/8" thick layer over the affected area. Be sure to coat the surface evenly for consistent results.

✅ Step 3: Let it Sit

Let ProPeel dwell for 2 to 24 hours depending on how thick or stubborn the sealer/haze is. Don’t rush—give it time to break everything down.

✅ Step 4: Agitate and Rinse

Once the stripper has worked its magic, use a floor scrubber or stiff brush with a red or black stripping pad. Then pressure wash with a turbo nozzle for best results. This will fully lift the loosened coating and rinse it away.

✅ Step 5: Reveal & Protect

After drying, your surface will look clean, natural, and refreshed. At this point, you can reseal with Stain-Proof or Trident Urethane for long-term protection.
