Nitromors (formally "Nitromors Master Craftsman's Paint And Varnish Remover") is a paint-stripping chemical intended for do-it-yourself use. It is manufactured in the U.K. by Henkel Consumer Adhesives of Winsford, Cheshire. A heat gun is a great alternative to the paint stripper. Removing old paint with a heat gun is often more effective but although the operation is simple, it’s lengthy and annoying.The ban on many solvents and the removal of lead from paint has undoubtedly had a beneficial effect on the health of painters and decorators across Europe and I welcome it. The challenge for Nitromors The whole process is a lot less intrusive than burning or sanding but should be done with the windows and doors open to provide good ventilation. Reformulating their magic liquid in a way that kept Brussels happy and just as importantly, did the job for the painter and decorator. By all accounts it was not a straight line from A to B. To avoid side effects, use paint strippers in a ventilated environment – preferably outdoors. Don’t handle the product without gloves and wear a safety mask. So removing this troublesome surface has been an ongoing job that I have to psyche myself up for. That said it has given me the ideal place to test sanders, hot air guns and chemical strippers.

The instructions for use of all the versions of the product indicate that great care should be taken to work in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors, because there are health risks from the fumes. The main active ingredients of Nitromors previously included dichloromethane (which was the main ingredient) and methanol. However, the ingredients changed in 2009 when the EU introduced legislation banning methylene chloride – a solvent that Nitromors had previously used in their formulation. The current version of All Purpose Nitromors no longer contains dichloromethane. Play if safe and hire a professional painter and decorator Regarding the green-coloured gel, we admit this idea is genius. The product has a non-drip formula and is easy to apply even on vertical surfaces. Compatible with paint, varnish and lacquer, this paint remover is ideal to use on window frames and door trims. The current All Purpose version of the product, as of 2011, does not contain any of the active ingredient dichloromethane, and the logo representing approval by the Guild of Master Craftsmen no longer appears on the tin. It indicates a degree of nervousness on their part, and you can read into that what you will. Buy Nitromors Paint and Varnish Remover
