Reed Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Need to strip some paint indoors on gloss. Door frame and multi pane glass door. I used nitromors years ago and it worked but nasty stuff. I recall seeing some stuff that sets and you peel off. also many of large shops carry makes I have never heard of. Can anyone provide any recs from previous use please.

Foxfan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I had problems with Nitromors last time I used it, in that the paint I put on afterwards would never set, despite washing it down thoroughly, If sanding won't do it, then a trip to Buildbase or someone like that will probably get you something more effective. My Grandad always used a half pint blowlamp and burned the stuff off. But then, he always made his own paint and gave a 10 year guarantee! You could, in those days.

MrTin It is the quickest way - if you can tolerate the smell and know that the paint does not contain lead. Of course nowadays you can get hot air guns that take the place of the blowlamp. I have used the past type strippers but with poor results. Nitromors or equivalent and lots of wire wool (and thick gloves) in my recipe.

Bob Cotsford Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The last time I got my hands dirty with decorating I used a power sander (and goggles/dustmask) but have used a blowlamp in the dim past. You need to take care near the glass as getting too much heat on it will cause it to shatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Lane Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Peelaway 7 Paint Stripper is a very good product. Google it and you should find a stockist near by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecchio Austriaco Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 As we are in the RCME forum the chances that you have a hot air gun are good - use it, it works perfect. of course you need to be patient and try not to burn the surface. And if you don't have a hot air gun - consider purchasing one - they are marvelous for building but also for getting that old foil coating straight and tidy again. Not to forget they shrink you shrink tubes on connectors. Hot air gun - one of my workshop essentials... VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I agree, hot air gun best, easiest, quickest method. Decent chemicals will cost a fortune. Be careful next to glass as others said. The harmfull chemicals have been removed from Nitromors and its not as good as the old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
