Bartoline TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper 1L

Prefect for the job I needed doing :) it does what it says and is great value for the price :)

It stripped several layers of paint. Found it best to totally immerce the parts to be stripped but found with larger bits that 2 or 3 applications did the trick. Leaving overnight gave best results.

Wonderful product! Did exactly what it said it would.

Pretty disappointed. I’m removing about 2 coats of stain from a dresser. The photos are just from the top part of the dresser, haven’t even started on the bottom base. Followed the instructions, it dried out within half an hour of the first application despite it saying 1 hour. I then reapplied and covered it in cling wrap hoping to get it to soak in and stop it from drying out, did it on a hot day too, didn’t work. Dried out again. 3rd application finally got it going. Had to scrub and scrap vigorously in between each layer to get it off and will still need to do a lot of sanding to get the stain fully off. Don’t understand how people are removing layers upon layers of paint and varnish with 1-2 coats of this stuff, it does not come off easily. I’ve not even covered the top half of the dresser fully and I’m almost half way through the bottle as the only way it makes any kind of a dent is to dollop it on very very thick which is a complete waste. Getting it off is then a pain, even more scrubbing with dish soap, otherwise you’re left with a sticky residue. Works eventually after a lot of money, extra steps than if you just sanded.

I was skeptical when ordering this product as the price was cheap compared to big brand names, but I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. I used it on painted cast iron to remove factory applied paint, covered it in the white gel and left for about an hour. The paint literally fell off. Took very little agitation to get into the nooks and crannies. A quick rinse in soapy water and a wipe over with white spirit and it’s ready for repainting.

Poor quality takes lots of attempts to get all the paint off …. Buy a stronger one

I thought it was a great idea to spray my chrome banister. This did not go to plan. I tried to remove using acetone, but this required a lot of work trying to scrap the paint off. Looked on Amazon for a better method and came across this product. I was not disappointed, but amazed with the results. Effortless! Don’t give it a second thought. Works as described.

Not the strongest of strippers but it did what I wanted it to after applying a second coat. Really easy to clean and wash the brush out. I stripped parts of a wooden potting table and after removing the paint debris, I washed the area down to clean away what was left of the stripper. I now need to see how the fresh paint takes to the stripped area.
