do you know which nitromors will work best on both steel and alloy, the yellow or green tin variety.
-
I find the yellow is better the green one wont strip fresh air

i only had a quick look at both tins a while a go, but couldn't really make out what the different use was for. as they both seemed to say they do the same job.
i'll be getting some over the next week or so, so please chirp in with your experiences of using this stuff
so it's 1 nil to the yellow at the moment

i guess this starchem synstrip is a pretty potent chemical, is it ok for items that are alloy underneath the paint.
also does it only come in a 5LTR tub ( i know people in the trade need larger quantities) but 1 LTR i would imagine last me for age's

You would use a litre of nitroshit on a pair of brake levers!

Listen to what the man says :daumenhoch:
-
i'm not questioning SBD knowledge
what i was saying is that i didn't expect how much nitromors is needed to do a pair of levers for example.
i've bought other things in larger quantities than i've needed and wasted 75% of it that's all
i thought it would be a case of brushing a thin layer on and your done, not bunging the whole tin on them.
but put it this way i've been put off using nitromors now.
i would still be interested though if anyone could post pics of before and after using nitromors just to see what type of results they get.

I used a whole big tin of green Nitromares trying to shift paint on two frames - utter shite - you might as well gurn at the moon and throw rocks at the sun :2gunsfiring_v1:
-
if i'm stripping levers or calipers or even pedals than i find a tub slightly larger than the part i'm stripping
then pour the stripper just over the level of the part. leave over night and next day it should all wash off
under a tap, again do this week in week out and i'd say 95% of the time your left with perfect alloy or
steel paint free :daumenhoch:
ps also recycle what you used onto the next job ;)

I bet you've spent plenty of time doing that eh B :LolLolLolLol:

Top advice Dan, noted. :4_17_5:

If you are saving money you can still get decent paint stripper from pound + type shops. I used to get some from a place near me at 2.50 a tin. Burnt like fook if you got it on your hands and works as well as nitromors used too :daumenhoch:
-
always Ash :D ;D
the pound shops stuff should work - they don't care what goes into there stuff just as long as they sell shed loads ;D
-
i didn't know you can re-use the stuff.
i'll have a look around for some of the pound shop stuff. but if all else fails i may get the large 5 LTR jobbie. as i've got a 1974 yamaha dt 125 under loads of junk in the back of my dad's shed that hasn't seen the light of day for 19 years that i could use it on.
that's if it hasn't rotted away

Wheres snapper and his "fire pit" when you need him ::)

Dont get the creamy looking stuff in the plastic tubs, its sheite. It has to be the stuff in the rectangular tins. Smells like proper nitromors when you open it too :daumenhoch:

I've got 5 litres of Synstrip on the way ... I tried that green Nitromors last time...
It's as effective as the layback copper pipe seat tube :daumenhoch:

i think all chemicals aren't what they use to be years ago, as everything has to be environmentally friendly now. so in other words thier s**t
-
water things down and you have to use twice as much = more moneny ;D
-
water things down
Dilute...! :D

Dichloromethane was the chemical removed from Nitromors because of longterm links to Cancer. Strange that is exists in other products because it was an EU re-clasification directive. :idiot2:

Used to use trichloroethelene for cleaning kitchen and bedroom cabinets, got told one morning it had been banned as it rots your bones or someting. That stuff would clean anything, the stuff i use now is sheite! way of the world i guess ::)
