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.
All of the above.
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.
Cheers fella's
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

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 !

I'll put money on it he's using Paramorse.
If you want some you're welcome to a pot, just requires a visit to Rayleigh.
