Gloss paint remover - Nitromors any good?
Question for the enlightened.... is Nitromors any good - or is there something that does a better job?
Replacing guttering, fascias and soffits on me 'ouse (bunga'ouse actually) don't want to mess with the toilet soil pipe - it was
white originally, then it was painted black, then an 'orrible red which is flaking off. So, using a paint remover on the placcy pipe seems the
way forward - but which one actually works?
Thanks in advance for replies......

I used Nitro on a piece of plastic bodywork to get the paint off, it worked well, but also seemed to attack the plastic underneath a little and made
it soft 
Seeing how long you can stand it before running to a sink after a lump of nitro finds its way to bare skin is all good fun though

Nitromors attacks many/most plastics in my experience, I'd definitely want to test it on some similar pipe before wreaking havoc on your waste
pipe.
Anyone that paints PVC waste pipes needs slapping - it always flakes off after very little time. Find the guilty party and make them lick it off

nitromors is awsome.
get a good scrapper though.
you can get stuff stripped and dipped cheaply.
i got 4 doors stripped in leeds for £70.00
took them minutes rather than me doing it which took 4 hours per door.
Thanks

Found this out when I was about 12... See how long you can stand it before you realise it could be the nitro burning your skin!

Yup Nitromors is best paint stripper out there if your dealing with paint on wood or some metals
However it will just about attack everything else inc you/plastic/cat/dog/the Mrs
If it's only a smallish area I can recommend Fairy power spray DON'T LAUGH spray on and leave for a few minutes (10 -15 depending upon
paint)
Have used it succesfully on enamels and acrylics which has been on top of various plastics.
Some plastics may go a little surface soft at the time but clean with water and it all firms up again.

Is it a plastic pipe or steel/ cast iron ? if cast iron how about using a blow lamp / heat gun

Thanks for your comments - no, it is plastic one Jacko.
So, bottom line is if I use Nitroglycerine, sorry, Nitromors - it will get the paint off, but may leave me with a soggy soil pipe? What about if I
rinse it off as soon as it has shifted the paint?

cellulose thinners will lift most oil based paints and will be alot cheaper than nitromors

Frankly, wouldn't it be easier/cheaper/less stressful to simply replace the uPVC pipe?
After all, it is a bungahouse... can't be that long, can it? Even a length of soil pipe can't be too hard to replace?

Im with Dave jenkins on this one, as a couple of lengths of PVC pipe is about £10 in my local builders yard
against hours and hours of paint stripping!!

Caustic soda solution does a good job on gloss. Apply it with a brush, leave for 5-10 mins and scrape off. Be careful of slashes and run off, caustic
is not nice stuff.
