Product Information
Full details
The Nitromors All Purpose Paint & Varnish Remover is an essential solution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-performance chemical stripper for wood, metal, and masonry projects. Its core benefit lies in a high-viscosity, non-drip gel formula that excels on vertical surfaces, allowing for efficient, multi-layer paint removal in a single application. While the product is highly effective and dichloromethane-free, users should be aware that it remains a chemical stripping agent requiring proper ventilation and protective gear during use.

FAQs
Can I use this on plastic surfaces?
This product is formulated for wood, metal, and masonry; it is not recommended for use on plastic as it may melt or damage synthetic materials.
Is the green color permanent?
No, the green tint is a temporary visual aid for application tracking and will be removed during the cleaning and surface preparation process.
Do I need to sand the surface after using this?
While the remover leaves the surface significantly cleaner, a light sanding is often recommended to remove remaining stubborn residue and prepare the surface for a new coating.
How long should I leave the gel on?
Leave it on until you see the paint blister and bubble; the exact time depends on the thickness and age of the paint layers.
Can I use this indoors?
You can, but it is critical to keep the room well-ventilated by opening windows and doors to avoid inhaling strong vapors.
Troubleshooting
The remover is drying out too fast.
Apply a thicker coat of the gel to ensure it stays wet longer, or cover the area with plastic wrap to slow evaporation on large surfaces.
Paint is not blistering as expected.
The temperature may be too low; this product works best in moderate temperatures. Ensure the surface is free of heavy dust or debris before application.
Gel is sliding off the surface.
Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of wax or oil before application, as these contaminants can prevent the gel from gripping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning your project, ensure the work area is well-ventilated and cover adjacent surfaces to protect against accidental drips. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing at all times. Apply the gel liberally to the surface using a bristle brush. Avoid over-brushing; a single, thick application is more effective than thin, multiple coats. Once the paint has blistered, use a standard paint scraper to remove the residue. For cleanup, wipe down the surface with water or a suitable solvent as indicated by the finish you plan to apply afterward. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out.
