Product Information

Full details

The Bartoline TX10 Paint Varnish Stripper is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals tackling tough stripping jobs, offering a powerful, non-flammable, and non-caustic solution for removing multiple layers of paint and varnish. Its key benefit is its slow evaporation rate, which allows it to work effectively on vertical surfaces and in hard-to-reach areas without drying out too quickly. However, it requires a significant dwell time, especially for multiple layers, and careful preparation is essential to avoid damaging surrounding materials.

FAQs

Is Bartoline TX10 safe to use indoors?

Yes, Bartoline TX10 is suitable for indoor application. However, ensure adequate ventilation as with any chemical product.

How long should I leave the stripper on the surface?

Leave for approximately 1 hour. For surfaces with fewer than 5 layers, a second coat may not be necessary. For maximum effect with significant paint layers, cover with plastic sheeting and leave for 6-8 hours.

What types of paint and varnish can TX10 remove?

Bartoline TX10 strips most solvent and water-borne paints and varnishes, including polyurethane varnishes.

Can I use wire wool to clean the stripped surface?

No, do not use wire wool. Rub down the stripped area with a scrubbing brush.

What surfaces is TX10 suitable for?

It is suitable for wood, masonry, and most metal substrates. Always test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first for metals, plastics, and other substrates.

What should I do if the paint is not softening?

Ensure you applied a thick, even coat and allowed sufficient dwell time. For stubborn layers, a second application or covering with plastic sheeting for an extended period (6-8 hours) may be required.

How should I store the product?

Store Bartoline TX10 in a cool, dry place and protect it from frost.

Troubleshooting

Stripper not softening paint effectively

Ensure a thick, generous coat was applied and not brushed out. For multiple layers, a second application or covering with plastic sheeting for 6-8 hours may be necessary. The surface may not be completely dry before application.

Stripper dripping excessively on vertical surfaces

While the formula is non-drip, very thick or numerous applications might still show some minor run-off. Ensure only a thick, even coat is applied. A second dabbing coat is usually sufficient.

Residue left after scraping

Ensure the stripped area is thoroughly washed down with detergent and water, followed by a clean water rinse. Stubborn residue might require a second application of the stripper.

Damage to surrounding materials

Ensure adequate protection (drop cloths, masking tape) was used before application. Always test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics or sensitive finishes.
