Nitromors Master Craftsman Paint and Varnish Remover

It all began when we bought our first house, with the most hideously painted radiators on the planet - no exaggeration! Having decided on a colour scheme for the room, the radiator's are now looking out of place and need to be blended in to the ambience of the room. Thinking it would be a simply job, I began to dab a little Hammerite paint on. This resulted in an appalling outcome - the paint simply clotted, so i knew then that something else was needed. I enquired at my local B & Q and found that the name Nitromors was given a lot of faith, so at £6.98 for 1 litre I thought i'd give it a go. The product comes in a green metal container with a safety ...  Read the complete review

If you were a bit fed-up and at a loss for something to do yesterday you may well have read an opinion I wrote about using a power devil heat gun for removing paint. Now, whilst the heat gun is great at tackling flat surfaces for removing paint, it does struggle a little with any carved wood – elaborate designs that may be a little fiddly to target the heat gun with. So, to finish the job off I visited my local DIY superstore last night and asked if they could advise me on any good strippers (yes, I realise that joke is getting a bit thin now, but still it’s the best I can come up with). The main brand they stocked was ...  Read the complete review

The reason for writting this review is because I suffered such ill effects after using this chemical. Unwisely I used this chemical for paint stripping in an indoor but well ventilated environment for over five hours. The following day I suffered a blinding headache and vommiting. Any time saved from using this product instead of a heat gun was lost due to me being layed up for a day!. After some reading I discovered that the active ingredient is Dichloromethane. Using this chemical as a paint stripper has caused several deaths although the circumstances were always fairly extreme i.e. when the agent was used in an unventilated environment. The deaths were due ...  Read the complete review

This product is absolutley fantastic for removing paint or gloss. It comes in a metal tin, you will understand why when you see how quickly it disolves things. To use this I brushed it streight onto my wood work in the hall to remove the gloss paint, it was quite thich as there was 40 years of paint in there so I had to re do the same areas a few times as this only removes about 3 layers of paint at a time, you brush it on and in less than 5 minutes can run a wall paper scraper over the area to remove the paint as it blisters and peels right off. It is fantastic for removing paint but be very careful with it, I used rubber gloves so that I wouldnt ...  Read the complete review

Having never been a homeowner before, I could never understand what all the fuss was about when it came to DIY. Now that I actually do own a home, I can understand it completely! We have been very into buying or acquiring old furniture and renovating this to suit our own tastes. This brings me onto discuss varnish strippers (or rather, Nitromors liquid varnish remover). Nitromors works like a dream. The instructions can look really daunting to begin with, but it is so easy once you get into it. Don’t get me wrong, its not pleasant stuff to use (one sniff and you will be high as a kite), but it removed varnish and other stubborn stains with ease ...  Read the complete review
