Default How to strip paint from copper ?

Nitromors will be fine as long as you don't leave it on for any
significant period of time ( i.e. overnight ). It won't do any damage
as such, but it might discolour the metal slightly.


It also won't do any good: you have to catch Nitromors at the right point
or the paint hardens again and won't come off. You could use caustic (e.g.
Ronstrip) which strips more the longer it's left (up to a point)
