matty1001 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Bloody Hell! I picked up a tin of the stuff at Morrisons today, went home stuck a big Rackham fella in a tub and poured the entire contents over the model. Needless to say the paint came straight off. So feeling elated i grabed about 20 models off my shelf and dropped em all in. 30mins later went back with a toothbrush and i now have some newish models. But...the stuff now has colourful swirls init, i poured it back into the tin (didn't know if I could put it down the drain) will it be alright if I use it in a few weeks/months? Plus, would it have been better to water it down a little? Well im going to go and lie down now, I feel slightly light headed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty1001 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 NitroMors paint stripper stuff. You not have that over your side of the pond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordfishbane Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Looked for both NitroMors and methylene chloride which they list as the "effective ingredient" in NitroMors. Seems that we cant get the stuff in the states because its so dangerous, although it looks like it is used in cosmetics and to decaffeinate coffee. So ill just send all my mini's to you for stripping Matty !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Couldn't I just use my decaffeinated coffee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I imagine you could use it for some time and when you find that its effectiveness isn't up to snuff, get rid of it and get some more. Might want to filter it though to get out the chunks of paint before it makes a mud cake of slime in the jar. @LF Had a good laugh at your signature.

EldinTux Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 NitroMors is great stuff, just don't get any on your hands. In my (limited) experence you can use the nitromors 3 or 4 times. I then leave the 'dirty' stuff in a jar (with the lid on) outside for about a week. Most of it has evaporated by then, thus saving the need for pouring down the drain - a definite no no.

Stupidcow Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Does it matters if it gets into the water or the air? They both causes pollution. Decaffeinated coffee sounds more environmentally friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EldinTux Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Good point. But then when the product is used for it's intended purpose (stripping varnish from wood) most of it will evaporate into the air anyway. I suppose the question should be should we use it at all?
