writesHello,

Our garage fascia is old and peeling, so I want to strip the paint
back to the wood and start again. What is the best way to do this? Is
it by sanding, heating, or with chemical like nitromors?

... I use Nitromors
Master Craftsmans' paint stripper[*] which is pure liquid without thickening
goop, paint on, wait 5 mins then clear with wire wool further wetted in
stripper. Remove final residue/neutralize with wire wool & white spirit.

Use disposable gloves in layers to protect your hands from the stripper, I
use nitrile first then polythene overs.


Also use eye protection and have a bucket of clea nwater at th eready
just in case.. This is especially true if you are working above eye
level. getting it on your hands is bad enough - getting it ina n eye
would be terrible.


And it disposes of disposable gloves quite quickly, which is why it
comes in metal containers
