Box Contains 1 x Bartoline TX10 Paint & Varnish Stripper - 500ml Review: Effective paint stripper with good value and manageable odour! - This paint stripper is very useful and works effectively for removing old paint and varnish from surfaces. I found the product strong enough to deal with stubborn layers while still being manageable to apply. Effectiveness: It softened the paint well and made scraping much easier. It performed reliably on small DIY jobs. Value for money: Good value for the price, especially considering the strength and results achieved. Ease of use: Straightforward to apply with a brush, and the instructions were clear. Odour: The smell is noticeable, as expected with paint removal products, but not excessively strong when used with proper ventilation. Safety: It is important to wear gloves and ensure good ventilation during use. Overall, I am satisfied with the quality and performance. It works well for home improvement tasks and makes paint removal more manageable. Review: It works if you're patient and don't follow the instructions! - 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! ## Features - Harmful if inhaled. - Harmful if swallowed. - POWERFUL PAINT & VARNISH REMOVER: Specially formulated to strip multiple layers of paint, varnish, and coatings with ease.

Thanks** A: Yes. This product is great. I put it on my skirting boards and it stripped back all the paint thats ever been on there back to smooth wood And I scrapped off about4 layers of old paint. Worked wonders. **Q: I have gloss painted on my walls. Will this remove it? It is painted at least half way up each wall of my hall way** A: Very good at removing gloss paint from skirting boards, so would not think it would be any problem on another surface to remove gloss paint. However, if the paint is on plaster I suspect it would damage the plaster when scraped as plaster is a porous product. Could suggest you try in a small place that is not conspectus! **Q: I would like to ask if this can remove over sprayed tyres without damaging tyres/rubber.** A: Yes it will work fine. **Q: Would this remove varnish off bamboo and wicker conservatory furniture?** A: Yes i would .as it has taken varnish off my banister but hard work needs sanding down afterwards ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective paint stripper with good value and manageable odour! *by M***N on 14 April 2026* This paint stripper is very useful and works effectively for removing old paint and varnish from surfaces.
