Nitromors All Purpose Paint and Varnish Remover Ref 1985778, 350 ml

Saved me hours of scraping and sanding off old paint. Very satisfying to see the old paint bubbling off and easy removal. Sometimes took two coats but it works well. Need to be careful using it though, wear gloves and wipe up any spills beyond the area worked on. But that's clear on the instructions for use.

An excellent product. I bought this for my husband to work on a average size radiator which had been badly painted at least 2/3times. So lumpy drips etc. Having been trained car body work when young in the days before radiators came in bare metal, he has brought old rads to look like new. Therefore he was looking for something to easily take off all the badly done paintwork... & was very pleased with this product. Because the rad was in a bad state it took 2/3 'goes' to get it all off. It does need patience to do this but the end result was great, looks like new. This size pot was adequate for this average sized rad for 2/3 applications if needed. If you're new to this kind of job do follow instructions & ensure you lay paper under to make it easier to get rid of the flakes of old paint & rubbing down dust.Highly recommended.

It worked but took a huge amount of effort to remove the old worn varnish from the quarry tiles

Messy needed 2 coats. Paint easy removal but varnish not easy to remove. Dries quickly

I tried 3 different paint strippers to get the paint off 2 old and 1 brand new die-cast metal car models.All 3 failed to touch the paint so I decided to ignore the bad reviews I read for this Nitromors and give it a go.I applied it liberally and wrapped the bodies in cling film and left them for an hour. When I came back to them every drop of paint fell off easily.I don’t know why some reviews say it’s rubbish, it worked perfectly for me.

easy to apply and after the second coat, the varnish was stripped easily.

I last bought this stuff when it would dissolve your skin if it touched it. Sadly though understandably since something in the old recipe got banned Nitromors changed the formula. It is nowhere near as effective as it once was in its glory days and I found the only paint I could strip away using it was with a scrapper which I used to scrape most of the surface of the wood off! I was only trying to strip away a few layers of paint up the sides of my stairs and needed three tins and even then I was left with an unsatisfactory result. It is stained bright green so you can see where it has been applied which I found then stained the wood (requiring a significant amount of sanding to remove which necessitated the purchase of a £25 sander!) While Nitromors is responsibly complying with current legislation the product is nothing like it used to be and in my opinion makes it expensive and unfit for purpose.

It did what I bought it and fulfilled my expectations .
