Stock up on Nitromoors lads.

My van looks forward to the proposals.

Hmmm - eye contact with this stuff can be particularly nasty.

Whilst I'm not in favour of the current policy of banning anything more toxic than marmalade - I can see in this case there is some merit in pushing manufacturers towards alternative products for the diy sector.

BTW - I heard Nitromoors is useful for softening Araldite (and possibly other epoxies).

Softens all plastics I think. I wouldn't buy it retail anyway as it's far cheaper at trade outlets.

On shotgun carts?

I'm glad you haven't had it signwritten.

If it's your average workaday van then I would consider painting the affected panels with a gloss roller, not perfect but who's to know.

Assuming there is an alternative in this case. Will anything less nasty actually work?

Can't see white vinegar or sodium bicarb doing the job.

I use Removall from paint-stripper.co.uk (just a customer). It's bloody brilliant - far, far better than Nitromors. The only downside is that it takes 24 hours to do its stuff, but it's non-toxic, non- caustic and biodegradeable. What's not to like?

"Tacrolimus severe overdosage after intake of masked grapefruit in orange marmalade"

Yebbut... using nitromors is a rite of passage. Feeling those little patches of burning on your forearms and frantically rinsing, choking on the fumes, watching it burn through the floor and down to the earth's core. It's the chemical equiv of a chainsaw.

I've never had any injuries or unpleasantness using Nitromors.

(And it smells rather nice!).

The insidious thing is that it doesn't start burning *immediately*. It waits a while, so you think 'that wasn't worth worrying about' or 'mist have been a drop of water' - then it's too late and it's burrowed into your flesh.

I always thought the manufacturers must make napalm too.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman" saying something like:

Biodiesel strips some household paints, and cleans brushes. It also functions as a fairly good weedkiller, that I do know.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Owain saying something like:

patients, to whom I asssume grapefruit is a hazard. Same thing goes for statins, and if grapefruit is present in some marmalades it's something to be wary of.

Steam works pretty well IME

Reminds me of the tale about the guy who invented a universal solvent

He couldn't find anything to put it in.

There was a time of course when Nitromors wouldn't attack car paint, ( FWIR ) .

Nowadays it seems cars are painted with the same sort of powder & water paint my daughter uses with her primary school class of 7 year old special needs kids.

It really has been done.. magnetic bottle. (Yes I do understand a bit of nuclear physics.)

The price?
