Hi all,

Does anyone know of an effective paint stripper for cellulose car paint?
I always used to use Nitromores but the formulation went a bit tits up
due to environmental laws IIRC. Any suggestions?

tnx.

Brake fluid??

But do you need to strip it? Isn't rubbing down with wet and dry enough?

acetone or cellulose thinners?

contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

What about recommendations for stripping varnish off wooden furniture prior
to painting it. In particular, to strip it out of decorative grooves in the
wood where you can't use sandpaper. Also there is the problem with paint and
varnish that it quickly melts and then solidifies on sandpaper, clogging it
so it loses its abrasiveness.

Are the solvents that can strip paint also suitable for varnish - possibly
very old varnish dating from the 1940s or before.

you can still buy it, just not under the name nitromors. IIUC nothing to do with enviro laws, it's the toxic fumes.

Pity we don't have any of the really old tins to read the safety info
off, then. You're no doubt right; it's just another industrial chemical
now but we don't know which.

Dichloromethane / Methylene Chloride. With a bit of methanol.

yes we do. Dichloromethane. Beware where you use it.

True. All the paint strippers you can buy in a DIY store are now useless.

You'll find the old stuff on Ebay. For trade use.

Looks like our old 'friends' the EU have neutered it, Dave, just as they
have with much else. Here's a typical customer review:

"I remember this product when you could see it working fast and
completely effective. You had to wear protective clothing and just a drop
on your skin stung a little. This current formula is pretty hopeless in
comparison requiring 3 times the level of application and elbow. And the
price... well that shocked me. I think the do- gooders of the EU have
been more active than this reformulated No Mors." - G Denham

The EU ****s it up again!

Oddly, I don't remember your pal Farage objecting to this in the EU
parliament. If indeed it is anything to do with the EU.

But I'm sure Googling for a quote to support your view wore you out,
research wise.

It is absurd to the point of self-parody to blame the EU for this. Most
of the pressure for environmental and H & S restrictions comes from
northern Europe in general and the UK in particular. If we weren't in
the EU our government would still have banned dichloromethane but the
Mediterranean countries would probably still be using it. Actually,
they probably *are* still using it.

Why on earth would he? If he'd obsessed over tiny little details like
this, the British would never have ended up being on the point of
regaining their freedom.

Haha! It was literally the first review I came across, Dave. No effort
involved.

BTW, this sig quote of yours:

--

You do understand the basics of English grammar?? Tie is singular; shoes
are plural. Did you go to school in some dump like Tower Hamlets?

Ah - right. Would never have done for him to actually do the job he was
paid to do. Looking after UK interests in the EU parliament.

Of course not. The likes of you always believes the first thing Google
throws up. No wonder Farage found it so easy to sell his lies to you.

And we can add in tag lines to the vast range of things you don't
understand.
