Revolver Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Do wear rubber gloves. Do paint it on fairly thickly, and leave it for a while, 10 mins. Depending on the paint it can just literally peeeeel off and you just wipe it down. Do not touch the stuff. Do wash it off straight away. You'll know when it's on you. Not immediately, though. I might add, latex gloves can be disintegrated by it, so those won't do. Edited July 14, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 It stings if you get it in your eyes Think of napalm but with chemical burns instead of fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yea, remember the stuff can literally dissolve paint: You don't want it to touch you. Other than that just apply it liberally, be patient and be thorough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanuckleJive Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Wire wool will be useful in getting paint out of welds and other little fiddly bits Also, do it in a well ventilated area, The stuff stinks and I'm guessing the fumes aren't very good for you either Edited July 14, 2010 by PeanuckleJive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 It only burns if it's reacting with paint, if it's "just" the Nitromors it's not so bad. I stripped my frame on a bit of cardboard in our living room bare-handed and it was fine. Bit of a heady aroma but you get used to it pretty quickly. A nice wire brush or some wire wool will also do the trick for getting the paint off when it's time to get out of there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been about 3 years since I used it, It was probably the paint it was burning that made the smell as opposed to the actual nitromors, but it absolutely stunk when I used it >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
