FAQs
How long does it take for Nitromors to work?
The working time varies greatly depending on the type and thickness of the paint or varnish. It can range from 15 minutes to several hours. Look for the paint to blister or soften before attempting to scrape.
Can I use Nitromors on plastic surfaces?
It is primarily designed for wood, metal, and masonry. While it might work on some plastics, it can be aggressive and may cause damage or melting. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
How do I clean up after using Nitromors?
After scraping off the softened paint, you can clean the surface with water and/or appropriate solvents. Ensure all residue is removed before applying new coatings.
Is Nitromors safe to use indoors?
Yes, but only with adequate ventilation. Ensure the area is well-aired, and consider using a respirator if working in a confined space or for extended periods.
What personal protective equipment should I wear?
Always wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile or butyl rubber), eye protection (goggles or a face shield), and protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
How much area can one 375ml bottle cover?
A 375ml bottle of Nitromors Original Paint Stripper offers coverage of up to 1m² when applied at the recommended thick application rate.
What is the shelf life of Nitromors paint stripper?
When stored correctly in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, Nitromors paint stripper can last for several years. Ensure the lid is properly sealed to prevent evaporation or drying out.
Troubleshooting
Product is not removing paint effectively.
Ensure a thick layer was applied and allowed sufficient time to work. Very old or thick coatings may require a second application. Check that the product has not dried out in the container.
Drips are still occurring on vertical surfaces.
Apply a thicker layer of the gel. Ensure the surface is relatively clean and dry before application, as contaminants can affect adhesion. Work in smaller sections if necessary.
Strong fumes are present even with some ventilation.
Increase ventilation by opening more windows or using fans. Wear a respirator specifically rated for organic vapors. Avoid prolonged exposure.
Residue is difficult to remove after stripping.
Ensure you are using the recommended cleaning method (water and/or solvent). Agitate the residue with a brush or cloth during cleanup. For stubborn residue, a second, lighter application of the stripper might be needed, followed by immediate cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation & Application:
- Ensure the work area is well-ventilated. Open windows and doors. If ventilation is poor, use appropriate respiratory protection.
- Wear protective gloves (nitrile or butyl rubber), eye protection, and protective clothing to avoid skin and eye contact.
- Test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to check compatibility and effectiveness.
- Apply a thick, even layer (approximately 2-3mm) of the gel using a brush. Avoid brushing it out too thinly.
- Allow the product to work. Blistering of the paint indicates it is ready for removal. This can take from 15 minutes to several hours depending on the type and thickness of the coating.
- Scrape off the softened paint and varnish using a putty knife or scraper. Dispose of the waste material responsibly.
Compatibility:

Care & Storage:
- Clean up brushes and equipment immediately after use with water and/or solvents.
- Reseal the container tightly after use to prevent drying out.
