NitroMors

[matty1001]

Bloody Hell! I picked up a tin of the stuff at Morrisons today, went home stuck a big Rackham fella in a tub and poured the entire contents over the model. Needless to say the paint came straight off. So feeling elated i grabed about 20 models off my shelf and dropped em all in. 30mins later went back with a toothbrush and i now have some newish models.
But...the stuff now has colourful swirls init, i poured it back into the tin (didn't know if I could put it down the drain) will it be alright if I use it in a few weeks/months?
Plus, would it have been better to water it down a little?

Well im going to go and lie down now, I feel slightly light headed.

What in the earth are you going on about?

NitroMors paint stripper stuff. You not have that over your side of the pond?

Looked for both NitroMors and methylene chloride which they list as the "effective ingredient" in NitroMors. Seems that we cant get the stuff in the states because its so dangerous, although it looks like it is used in cosmetics and to decaffeinate coffee. So ill just send all my mini's to you for stripping Matty !!

Couldn't I just use my decaffeinated coffee?

I imagine you could use it for some time and when you find that its effectiveness isn't up to snuff, get rid of it and get some more. Might want to filter it though to get out the chunks of paint before it makes a mud cake of slime in the jar.

Had a good laugh at your signature.

NitroMors is great stuff, just don't get any on your hands. In my (limited) experence you can use the nitromors 3 or 4 times. I then leave the 'dirty' stuff in a jar (with the lid on) outside for about a week. Most of it has evaporated by then, thus saving the need for pouring down the drain - a definite no no.

Does it matters if it gets into the water or the air? They both causes pollution. Decaffeinated coffee sounds more environmentally friendly.

[EldinTux]

Good point. But then when the product is used for it's intended purpose (stripping varnish from wood) most of it will evaporate into the air anyway. I suppose the question should be should we use it at all?
