Bartoline 55878787 TX10 5L Paint and Varnish Stripper

I used to remove think varnish from slate floor tiles . Worked quickly in most areas did need reapplied on extra thick areas.Easy to use , just brushed on. Added benefit of being low odor. Great product will use again in the future.

Like the fact you can actually breathe while using this, and the place doesn't smell of it for days. I like that it's easy to use. What I wasn't keen on was it didn't do as good a job of removing paint, and the time it takes to work. Once I got through the paint, and applied it on old varnish...loved it. Yes it's messy to use but the ease of removing a dreaded coat of varnish makes it a winner for me.

It works, but not as effectively as I would want.It might be that the paint is too old (layers up to 90 years old), the wood is too soft or I haven't mastered the right technique, but it is very tedious work, the result is not perfect and will require sanding or further cleaning.The good point - it does not smell that bad or very strong

I am using this to remove 2 layers of paint on the tiles in my bathroom. Takes a while and you need to put a lot on but worth it in the end.

Might work on paint, but useless on varnish.Did exactly as the instructions said. Applied thickly (very thick as photo). Left for an hour, then used a stainless pan scouring pad. Hardly anything happened! Unfortunately I bought 5l!

Bought this product to enable me to strip dark orange varnish from my interior pine doors. The doors only have a couple of coats of varnish on so I found I only needed one layer of TX10, left to do its magic for one hour. It was easily scraped off after this time. The smell is non-offensive and disappears after about 48 hours. Would highly recommend this product to aid such a tedious job!

it took a few tries to realise a good method. instructions could have been clearer

Very easy to use product and I didn't feel as though I'd suffer unduly if I got some on my skin (unlike other products that take your skin off!) It worked quite well on an old window frame. I did have to give it 2 applications but that wasn't a great hardship as it goes on easily. After application I covered it with clingfilm to stop it drying out, went and had a cuppa and a pootle about and a couple of hours later, the paint had bubbled up and was ready to remove with a shave hook. I read another reviewer who suggested that you have bits of cardboard ready to catch the gung and what a brilliant but of advice that was! Another thing that's obvious, (but I learned the hard way) is start at the top. That way you're not having to remove bits of gloop from areas that you've already done. Would buy this product again without hesitation, but if you're reading this review do bear in mind that every paint stripping job is different.
