Time to look for a new stripper

[bobt]

 

Just tried the new Nitromors formula and its totally and utterly pants 🙆🏻

 

The old stuff would strip through 2-pac paint and powder coat with total easy in a single application. The new stuff does absolutely nothing and I mean N-O-T-H-I-N-G

 

I've left in on parts of car body work (it's getting a respray) for over 20mins and it hasn't so much as softened it. Same with the powder coat. What a crock. Why on earth have they made a great product useless

 

Short of looking around and buying up any of the old sock before it dissappears from the shelves, is there a good alternative that people have tried?

 

Thanks

Got some sloe gin that would do the biz

Hmmmm after reading around on the subject it appears I'm not alone with my experience using the new type. The meddling hands of the EU have been at play and working to ban the active ingredient DCM. It would appear that Nitromors have taken the plunge and removed it but are now left (as will be all the other paint stripper companies) with sh!te product that no longer works.

 

Great!!!!

It's difficult getting hold of chlorinated solvents these days, they are nasty. The best are dichloromethane or trichloromethane (better known as chloroform). Now you know why you can't just buy it everywhere. If you aren't dealing with ally then good old caustic is as good as anything but keep it off soft metals.

dichloromethane was the chemical nitromors did use to use.
