Bartoline TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper 500ml

I painted the tiles around the shower a taupe gloss. The colour wasn't much different than the original mock marble style. However, over time the paint became scratched and looked a mess. I bought two bottles of this but only needed one. I applied it with a soft bristle brush. I was surprised at how quickly the paint started to bubble up and come off (see video). It didn't take me a long time, but it did take more than an hour to remove it. I should have covered the bath to make clean up easier after. Because the paint turns all gloopy. I am quite sensitive to strong smells, but I was pleasantly surprised that this did not give off a strong smell. I only used one bottle. Its easy to use, and wipe off. My tiles were restored to how they looked originally. I would recommend this product.

Used this paint stripper to strip multiple layers of paint from the stairs. It does work quickly but i found will only remove one layer of gloss paint at a time. In my case there are about 5 layers to be removed so lots of patience and elbow grease required. Consistency is that of pva glue, did not dry out and i did not cover while waiting for it to work. I did lay it on thickly with a paint brush... Will probably need to use 5 bottles of the 500ml to complete the job. So Quite inexpensive. Another plus side is i found it did not hardly smell at all, somewhat of a slight sour smell but not a strong chemucal odour i expected. If you have the time and patience for the money you cant fault it.

Good product. Good price and works well. Used mainly to soak door hinges. Gloss paint dust fell off.

I spent hours looking online for an affordable paint stripper that would remove around 4 layers of paint from a wooden bannister. I needed some on a budget so purchased this. Other paint strippers were too expensive. Some reviews said to apply a thick layer then for best results wrap it in cling film and leave it. I did this first and it didn’t work that well. It doesn’t say on the side of the bottle to cover with cling film so I tried again by following the instructions on the bottle and it worked so much better. The first coat probably lifted 2 layers which bubbled up and scraped off easily, the second coat took off the bottom 2 layers which again scraped off easily. I’m really happy with the product and I’ll be buying a bigger sized bottle to continue to take the rest of the paint off of the handrail and posts. All I’ve done so far is apply some then go out for a few hours then scrape it off and apply some more and get on with the rest of my day. Definitely would recommend if you’re someone with patience for a DIY job and are happy to do it progressively instead of expecting miracles on the spot!

As many folks will know who have been through the ordeal of having the outside of their house professionally painted... it is a blessing that it will not be required again for a good few years... The tradesmen were ok... but incredibly messy. The main painter guy was absolutely covered in pain, I don't know how he did it. It wasn't as though someone had taken a brush and painted him along with the house... but as if someone told him to stand still whilst they slowly dripped 2.5l of white paint all over him. Amazing really. As amusing as that was, it was the amount that fell on the ground, roof tiles, grass, plants, the bin, etc, etc... that bothered me more. Having been told several times to lay down sheets, they never appeared. He may have had paint in his ears. It was left to me (us) to remove the spots, of which there were thousands. We started by using a scraper, hot water, pan scrubber, or a combination of all three. It worked, but slow going. Eventually I decided to buy paint stripper, and did some research. The well known name(s) were not particularly liked, and expensive. I didn't want a really aggressive one, and the Bartoline TX10 seemed to fit the bill. It was reasonably priced. As suggested I was surprised how lacklustre reviews are of paint strippers in general, and to some extent I can now see why... The product was easy to apply, didn't smell particularly, and did the job... sort of. The paint spots were easier to get off, but there wasn't the near instant peeling I recall from my youth, whenever my father would break out the paint stripper for whatever reason. I put it down to regulation and the use of safer chemicals. I assume this is a net benefit, however it leads to average performance, especially as the paint was only a few days old in my case. On balance I do not regret making the purchase, it did quicken the job... but whilst I did not buy the most aggressive paint stripper available (there was not a stand-out performer per Amazon customer reviews), I did expect a but more hustle... which for me was sadly lacking. Three Stars, it might be worth three and a half, but definitely not four.

I used this product to strip an old varnished coffee table with round carved legs. It worked well creating a paste that can be scrapped off. Its easy to do on a flat surface with a scrapper. However the legs are another matter as I could not use the scrapper on these. In the end I used wire wool, sandpaper, sander, scrubbing brush with water and eventually all the original varnish came off. My learnings were: Its a filthy job. I needed rubber gloves, rags and coverings on the work surface; The coverage figures provided on the various websites are often misleading, a 500ml container will do 2 coats on about 1 sq. metre, I needed 2 coats; an electric sander with a finger attachment would have been a great help; its very time consuming as it took more than half a day to do. However, the product itself does what it claims to do and would buy it again.

This works but you need to be patient. Strips one layer at a time, so if you are working with several layers, take a deep breath.

This is a non caustic paint and varnish stripper in a 500ml tin, and I used it on an old painted wooden shelf where I wanted to remove a couple of tired layers before repainting. It was easy enough to brush on and the smell was not as brutal as some older style strippers I have used, which was one of the better points. It did soften the top layer of paint after leaving it for a while, and I was able to scrape some of it away, but it took more effort than I expected from something labelled extra strong. On thicker areas, I had to reapply it and go over the same section again, which made the job feel slow and a bit bloody tedious. The gel consistency helped it stay in place on flat surfaces, but I found it less impressive around edges and corners where the paint was more stubborn. It also left some residue behind, so I had to clean and sand the wood properly afterwards before I was happy with the surface. It is usable for small jobs or lighter coatings, but I would not choose it again for anything with several old layers of paint or varnish. For me, it did part of the job, just not well enough to feel like good value.
