Stock stripper

[Silverfox1307]

Looking at stripping the old finish off a stock

Whats the best remover you's guys use, was going to get nitrimors but thought Id ask first



Chris

I use Barretine Paint stripper in a bottle, brilliant stuff but I've had it years and dont know if its still available. dont get it on your hands, it burns like ****!

I haven't done many but, after a tip from a mate, covering a stock in Nitromorse and wrapping it in cling film for half an hour worked ok.

I don’t use a chemical stripper. I have found I get better results physically scraping it off.
I then use several coats of bleach to remove the old colour (on beech)

Stripped a stock with No Nonsense stripper from Screwfix around £5 for 1/2 a litre.Worked for me,no smells no gloves.

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

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.
