Bartoline TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper 500ml – Extra Strong, Non-Caustic Paint Remover for Wood, Metal & More

Firstly, it's necessary to familiarise with the product description and instruction of use for your own safety and satisfaction from the product. Product is emitting low odour, which is good for sensitive surroundings if working inside. It's slimy-gelly consistency helping to stay on vertical surfaces quite well. In low temperatures its performance can be low and may require longer time to start acting on painted surfaces, and it may be required to repeat it's application more than once. Applied layer must not be thin as it will dry quickly and/or will be absorbed by old paint and will become significantly less effective. Any surfaces covered by multiple layers of paint will require more repeats of its application for complete paint removal. It will work on variety of paint types with different level of performance. Some old paints will be completely dissolved whilst the others might be just softened enough for easy removal with, for example, spatula or similar tool. Do not expect lightning fast effects, it needs time to do it's job. Be aware that it may damage badly composite and plastic materials, including synthetic clothes. May cause discoloration of many materials. So far I have used it for paint removal from the floor wooden skirting, old wooden doors, and from metal flower stand. It did great job as well while cleaning some automotive parts as it removed stubborn dirt from the engine block and from the gearbox. Overall, I think that the size of bottle is wisely chosen for DIY jobs. And the results make it worth the money paid for. Yes, some types of paint may be difficult to remove. But it will work on most well.

You need to allow time on paint as it not like old paint strippers that had stronger chemicals but worse for voc and environment. Did the job eventually.

The best paint stripper I've ever seen, easy to use, doesn't smell horrific, took the paint off and ancient door no problem. Only thing is follow the instructions and only leave it for an hour, left the first lot over night, as that's what I used to do with the old stuff, this stuff if left turns to a gloop that's hard to remove. But you can just apply more paint stripper, then your scraper will slide right though the paint/gloop.

Is messy to use. Works better on lighter colours removing black paint is difficult. I used to strip my floorboards. Ended up sanding as well. After leaving on for an hour the paint becomes sticky and gluppy and then you can scrap off but the scraper must be wiped off continuously as you try to remove from the surface. Then I had to use white spirit and soap and water so it took a long time to remove a small almost of paint. The gluppy, glue like substance which the paint becomes after this paint stripper has been on for an hour, is then very messy and sticky. But it did work well where there were splashes of white paint. It is very easy to apply. Also dont have to wait long for seface to melt.

Excellent product works everytime , I’ve tried eco friendly products but a waste of money Use this product before so I know how good it is

I can remember buying Nitromors in the past and that then removed all the paint and all the varnish on everything it touched. This TX10 is an excuse for a paint stripper! Used as instructed, waited an hour and lo and behold! It didn’t make any difference to the paint I had applied it to. It was still hard and certainly wasn’t coming off. I can’t stop you purchasing this excuse for a paint stripper but take my advice and don’t waste your money on this product.

This works really well for stripping varnish from wood. One bottle was enough for a dining table top.

Didn’t work very well
