I have already stocked up to sort the *******s out that did this.

Hmmm - eye contact with this stuff can be particularly nasty.

Whilst I'm not in favour of the current policy of banning anything
more toxic than marmalade - I can see in this case there is some merit
in pushing manufacturers towards alternative products for the diy
sector.

BTW - I heard Nitromoors is useful for softening Araldite (and
possibly other epoxies).

Softens all plastics I think.
I wouldn't buy it retail anyway as it's far cheaper at trade outlets.

On shotgun carts?

I'm glad you haven't had it signwritten.

If it's your average workaday van then I would consider painting the
affected panels with a gloss roller, not perfect but who's to know.

Assuming there is an alternative in this case. Will anything less nasty
actually work?

Can't see white vinegar or sodium bicarb doing the job.

I use Removall from paint-stripper.co.uk (just a customer). It's
bloody brilliant - far, far better than Nitromors. The only downside
is that it takes 24 hours to do its stuff, but it's non-toxic, non-
caustic and biodegradeable. What's not to like?

Yebbut... using nitromors is a rite of passage. Feeling those little
patches of burning on your forearms and frantically rinsing, choking on the
fumes, watching it burn through the floor and down to the earth's core.
It's the chemical equiv of a chainsaw.

I've never had any injuries or unpleasantness using Nitromors.

(And it smells rather nice!).

The insidious thing is that it doesn't start burning *immediately*. It
waits a while, so you think 'that wasn't worth worrying about' or 'mist
have been a drop of water' - then it's too late and it's burrowed into
your flesh.

I always thought the manufacturers must make napalm too.

Biodiesel strips some household paints, and cleans brushes. It also
functions as a fairly good weedkiller, that I do know.

orange marmalade"
http://www.springerlink.com/content/vj2v7j3wux06201p/

Nasty. I couldn't get the article, but it mentions liver transplant
patients, to whom I asssume grapefruit is a hazard.
Same thing goes for statins, and if grapefruit is present in some
marmalades it's something to be wary of.

There was a time of course when Nitromors wouldn't attack car paint,
( FWIR ) .

Nowadays it seems cars are painted with the same sort of powder &
water paint my daughter uses with her primary school class of 7 year
old special needs kids.

I know that bit about statins but I was told that eating grapefruit
wasn't a hazard but reduced the effectiveness of the statins ....cos I
like grapefruit

Yes - good for un-potting encapsulated electronics - it also de-laminates multilayer boards - can
look quite pretty....!

There is still the roof and door to do where it splashed over.

I have a friend who is a qualified paint sprayer.

Heh, that's right. And there's always a bit of scouring you want to finish
before running for the tap, so you're hanging on with gritted teeth...
