    Abstract: A UV cured floor finish can be removed from a floor by applying to the cured finish an inhomogeneous stripper composition containing at least one polar solvent, allowing the stripper composition to contact the finish for sufficient time to soften the finish, and removing the softened finish from the floor by mopping, vacuuming, mild abrasion or other measures that do not remove substantial portions of the floor. Preferably the polar solvent is denser than water and preferably the stripper composition has a diffusion rate through the cured finish greater than about 7 .times. 10 -7 g/cm2/sec. Strippable floor finish kits can be manufactured by combining a UV curable floor finish composition and an inhomogeneous strippe r composition containing at least one polar solvent.
