What Is Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper?
Important: After applying Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper, you must cover the treated area with a plastic sheet immediately. If not covered, the dissolved sealer will re adhere to the paver surface when it dries. Check on the treated area every few hours. never leave it unattended for the full 24 hours. Use above 50°F and below 90°F. Protect all vegetation and contain all runoff. Dispose of dissolved sealer material according to federal, state, and local regulations.
Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper is a professional strength formulation specifically designed to remove water based and solvent based acrylic sealers from concrete pavers and natural stone surfaces. It effectively dissolves and removes multiple layers of existing sealer in a single application, making it the required first step before applying a fresh sealer to a surface where an unknown or incompatible coating may be present. Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper is water based, contains zero VOC, and has virtually no odor. significantly easier to work with than solvent based stripping products.
Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper is referenced in the installation instructions for every Alliance sealer product. Before applying Gator Seal Satin Look, Wet Look, Hybrid Seal, or any other Alliance sealer, the instructions specify: use Gator Sealer Stripper to remove any unknown coating that remains on the surface. Without this step, a new sealer applied over an old incompatible coating will fail to bond, resulting in peeling, discoloration, or uneven sealer performance.
One gallon of Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper covers 40 to 50 sq ft at the required minimum 1/8 inch application thickness. After application the product must react for a minimum of 12 hours and up to 24 hours while covered with a plastic sheet. The area is then vacuumed section by section before pressure washing and rinsing. Available in 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes. A shelf life of 2 years when kept sealed in a warm, dry environment.

When Should You Use Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper?
Removing an unknown or incompatible existing sealer before resealing Every Alliance sealer installation guide specifies using Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper to remove any unknown coating that remains on the paver surface before applying a new sealer. If the existing sealer type is unknown or incompatible with the new sealer being applied, failing to strip it first will result in bonding failure, peeling, or discoloration of the new coating.
Stripping a sealer that has failed, peeled, or discolored When an existing sealer has peeled, turned white, or degraded unevenly across the paver surface, the damaged coating must be fully removed before a fresh sealer can be applied. Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper dissolves and removes failed sealer coatings in a single application, restoring the paver surface to bare concrete that is ready to accept a new sealer correctly.
Removing multiple built-up sealer layers Pavers that have been sealed and resealed multiple times without proper stripping can accumulate layers of sealer that affect the paver's appearance and prevent proper adhesion of new coatings. Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper is formulated to dissolve and remove multiple sealer layers in a single application.
Switching from a water based sealer to a solvent based sealer or vice versa When changing sealer types. for example switching from a water based sealer to a solvent based sealer like Gator Seal Wet Look or Satin Look. the existing coating must be fully removed first. Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper removes both water based and solvent based acrylic sealers, making it the correct choice regardless of what type of sealer is currently on the pavers.

1
Protect vegetation and mark 40 to 50 sq ft sections

Create a protective barrier around vegetation using Gator Fabric GF5 staked at 5 to 6 feet with a coarse sand bed at the base. Mark the surface into sections of 40 to 50 sq ft. one gallon of Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper per section. Always start at the lowest point of the paved surface.
2
Apply Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper at minimum 1/8 inch thickness
Using a brush or roller, apply Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper to the first section at a minimum thickness of 1/8 inch. On irregular surfaces, use a nylon brush to work the product into intricate areas and ensure full coverage. Do not skimp on thickness. adequate product depth is essential to proper sealer dissolution.
3
Cover immediately with plastic sheeting
Immediately after applying Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper to each section, cover that section completely with a plastic sheet. This step is critical. if the product is left uncovered, the dissolved sealer will dry and re adhere to the paver surface, requiring the entire process to be repeated. Ensure all edges of the plastic sheet are well sealed to the surface.
Allow Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper to react for a minimum of 12 hours and up to 24 hours. Never leave the treated area for the full 24 hours without checking on it. if the product dries or hardens in any area, apply a thin additional coat of Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper to that area and allow 30 minutes to 1 hour before removing.
5
Vacuum each 10 x 10 ft section then pressure wash
Working section by section, remove the plastic sheet from one 10 x 10 ft area, shop vacuum that section to remove the dissolved sealer material, then immediately pressure wash the vacuumed area. Use a nylon brush with clean water to scrub residue off the surface. Rinse thoroughly. for the final rinse, low pressure washing is recommended for best results. Proceed to the next 10 x 10 ft section and repeat. Dispose of all runoff and dissolved sealer material per local regulations.

This is the most critical step in the Alliance Gator Sealer Stripper process. After applying the product, if the area is left uncovered and exposed to air, the dissolved sealer that has been lifted off the paver surface will dry out and re adhere to the pavers. At that point, the entire process needs to be repeated. Covering with plastic sheeting keeps the dissolved sealer wet and in suspension so it can be properly vacuumed and pressure washed away after the reaction time is complete.
