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.

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.

Or rub down the inset panel and get one of them stick-on things that
companies print for you

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

I have a friend who is a qualified paint sprayer.

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.

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

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.

The price?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman"
saying something like:

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