Bartoline TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper 1L – 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.

I'm in the process of stripping the paint off an aluminium bike frame with this stuff and did some experimentation. The first thing you need to know about it, is it's about 1/8th the strength of oldschool Nitromors, if you're looking for something that works as well as that old stuff and as fast then you're going to be disappointed, but with some patience, prep work and time, you can get this stuff to work, but be prepared to be working on it over several days! The instructions tell you to splodge a load on, leave it an hour and then apply another coat and leave again, this does precisely nothing and only seems to serve the purpose of making you waste loads and buy more! So here's what I did: 1) Pre sand with a 240 grit paper to break through any clearcoat and give the gloop a chance to penetrate the paint, be careful not to go too deep and scratch the metal underneath! Also remove any decals if you can, if they're clearcoated over it might be worth sanding through to get them off as they will prevent the gloop working properly. 2) The next part is down to you how to go about it, but personally I would say to do small areas and individual tubes rather than the whole frame in one go, as this stuff dries out really fast once unwrapped and loses its potency while you're trying to scrape paint off another area. Select the area you want to work on and cover it as thickly as possible, but instead of waiting an hour and applying another coat, wrap the area in clingfilm, making sure it's touching the gloop fully and then leave it for several hours. (I left mine overnight, it doesn't smell so you can leave it indoors somewhere warm, just away from pets or small people!). 3) If you've covered the area with enough, after a decent amount of time the paint will almost fall off with little effort, although you may find that a stanley blade will also come in handy for peeling stubborn areas and getting into corners etc. 4) You will probably need to repeat this process at least once more in order to get any awkward areas or anywhere where the gloop wasn't effective, which will happen. It can also be a bit weird with primer, it'll either strip it along with the paint or it won't touch it at all, this isn't a problem if you're only planning to repaint the frame as some prep sanding will be sufficient to primer over, but if you want to polish that part, then it's time to get the sandpaper out! In all, it's not as horribly unusable as other brands, but unless you know someone with a paint shop who can order the really good stuff, then this is good as you're going to get! Pros: Doesn't smell evil so you don't have to spend hours outside in the garden freezing to death. Cons: It's not oldschool stripper so you won't be done and dusted in an afternoon!

Great stuff; works like a charm. Cheaper than the local stores.

Apparently this has it's limitations. It does strip SOME paint but it's very weak. They are misleading in their description of it's implied effectiveness. Whatever the paint was that I wanted stripped resisted this stuff almost completely. It clearly has more effect on some paints than others... I feel they are obliged to make this clear yet they choose not to. I cannot recommend this product.

It doesn't work on first application *like some people said worked for them) but did after a second one (as per instructions). Doesn't stinky, easy to apply. Unfortunately won't be enough to finish the project (I bought the largest size, which is good value) but I will buy it again

TDLR- it’s useless don’t bother I brought that paint remover to remove paint on a tomahawk head for a customisation job. It was soak for 3hrs30min and did nothing at all… Utterly useless! The worst part is that it is a cheap paint and even using a metallic scrubber didn’t remove much paint at all after over 3hrs of soaking in the paint remover. Very weak product that works only on some type of paints but not even sure which ones. Don’t bother there are way better alternatives out there. The instructions on the tin are comical - apply one layer for 1hour and maybe apply another layer if required for another hour. The thing was literally soaking in it for over 3 hours for NO visible results. I won’t ever buy a product from that brand again. 1/10 and I can’t even do a return as I brought it 6 months ago 😭

This stuff is amazing. First time stripping a piece of furniture and it went like a dream. I was removing waxed chalk paint. I followed the instructions which said to apply thick and leave for an hour. I only had to apply one coat on the majority of the piece but did apply cling film in some places to help but even where I didn’t it didn’t dry out after the hour. Gloopy enough to not drip so didn’t have to lay the furniture flat. Didn’t use the whole bottle so have enough left to do a corner cabinet so great value for money.
