Original Nitromors in Aldi
There are small cans of Methanol based Nitromors in Aldi.
They do not contain dichloromethane. I can't remember the active ingredient. Are they any good? |

Re: Original Nitromors in Aldi
Think these are the current types and less effective compared to the original.

Re: Original Nitromors in Aldi
The original did contain DCM which was banned by the EU in a 2009 directive.
Sale to professionals was banned in 2012, not sure about use in industry. I purchased some Nitromors a few years ago not realising they had changed the formulation and it was nothing like as effective as I remembered. |

Re: Original Nitromors in Aldi
Wickes do a useful paint and varnish stripper based (IIRC) on benzyl alcohol. It isn't in the the "nuclear category" as was DCM, but I've used it quite a lot over the years.
I would imagine that methanol is of little use. B

Re: Original Nitromors in Aldi
Some years ago and unaware of this change I bought a big bottle of B&Q paint stripper to do a large area of exterior woodwork. It was hopeless so I resorted to a blowtorch and scraper.
I have a few jobs to do so will try the Wickes variety. |

Re: Original Nitromors in Aldi
This all explains why I can't remove some bad exterior paint with Nitromors, perhaps the Wickes stuff might be worth a try. I have tried a blowlamp and hot air gun to no success as the paint is on stone.
