    Another vote for Screwfix No Nonsense stripper, I did my 9015 stock with it.

    Follow the instructions and it works brilliantly.

    Chris,

    Since paint strippers have had their dichoromethane (DCM) removed, most of them are sh!te

    I have fond memories of the PolyStripper of the 1970s, that would strip virtually anything - would sting your skin like hell, and would penetrate most gloves

    A friend got some DCM based stripper from Bay Of Flea, and that worked really well.

    Have a search.

    Have fun & a good weekend

    Best regards

    Russ

    Paramorse Chris, that's what I use for my stock work. It's used by professional furniture restorers, so if it's good enough for them.

    I did try to find nitromors but not for sale anywhere, tried one but that was useless.

    Where did you get that from Andy ?

    I have a french polisher nearby but he's on holiday for a month !

    I will look for dcm to Russ

    If you use the new stuff (cheap)apply a liberal amount and as stated above wrap it in a plastic sack and leave for a few hours works fine for me.

    New formula Nitromors green can is available widely from places like Screwfix but at £52 for 4 litres its a big purchase. I got 375ml can for £10 from an old fashioned hardware shop.

    I am trying to get the white gloop lacquer (probably acrylic), from my S400 MPR Sporter stock chequering and nooks and crannies, but I' have sanded off from the plain surfaces. I will do the polythene wrap too.

    Ive had a few go through the french polisher, god knows what he uses but theres nothing left and the wood looks bleached white/grey until Its sanded wet, as soon as water or oil goes on the grain pops out. I should wait for him but fancy a bash !
