Paint Stripper....
« on: April 09, 2023, 06:09:45 PM »
OK .... can anyone give me a source of the mythical 'paint stripper' .....a chemical you used to paint on and it would make the paint fall off.

Not the stuff you can buy these days, that barely softens the stuff..... the real deal Methylene chloride and all!

I have a mudguard I am trying to strip. It's got rust around the edges, and flaked paint...but after a day of stripper soaking, all it has done is take the clear coat off. A second application almost got bits of it down to base coat, but nowhere has it actually got the surface anywhere near metal where paint actually adhered.

Need the good stuff! The stuff you actually NEED to wear gloves for, and cover exposed skin. Not the stuff you could mix with lemonade and still drink without ill effect ( well...not...but its weak as gnats urine!)

I've used Paramors to very good effect, reminds me an awful lot of Nitromors, a blast from the past. So strong it burns if you get any on bare skin.

Not preaching but make sure you use it outdoors wearing a decent face mask as well as safety specs & the right gloves.

Even with these precautions my face itched after use probably due to stress sweat. First seller on e bay returned my funds, second one was fine but I did make a statement about safety measures.

I've bought this type of product a couple of times - they seem to disappear from e bay within a few months then re-appear as a new seller - the magic/ nasty ingredient is Dichloromethane.

going to try a litre of Synstryp.

Will order it from work on Tuesday, as I know some suppliers get funny about who they sell to.
