My first rant (I think)
My 30 year preference of a well known product in a green tin has been well and truely broken
Its a piss poor pale shadow of it's former very effective self.
It's gone frigging green in colour
It doesn't bloody smell any more
It just pissing softens the paint rather than bubble it up
I doesn't spread or is easy to apply and wants to b
d well just hang on the brush
I honestly think I've got ready made up wallpaper paste in the tin but that would have actually worked better.....
I thought it was just one thing that had super resistance built into the paint but I've tested it it on anything and anything that I could sacrifice and it's fking rubbish on everything
Doesn't do exactly what it fking says it does on the tin - and a fking waste of £15
Over to you - any of you wonderfull PH'rs have any recomendations for any good paint strippers out there?
I know I'll find this in fking home and fking gardens despite the fact it's paint on a car body that I wanted to bloody shift - Thanks Mods 
No offence intended in the last statement

What is the product you're referring to? Nitromors? I was using that stuff to strip down the lead painting doors in the house I bought earlier this year. Just as you desribe; thick, green, gloopy and messy to work with!
Not sure if name and shame rules apply to products but hey you've got the product rightTrouble is 2 years ago when I bought the last tin it wasn't green, it proper stunk and stuck to whatever it was applied to and actually bubbled up the paint requiring just a light scrape, brush or a wipe
Yes, the tin I had said you had to apply it, leave it for 45 minutes, scrape it down and then come back and do another coat. One coat, 5 minutes and some elbow grease seemed to work for me but it was hard, messy work whereas every other door except the outhouse door I had been able to tackle easily with a hot air gun and a scraper.
I should have just stuck with that!
I should have just stuck with that!

"By the way it may be of interest to everyone that "Nitromors" paint stripper is now no longer any good. They have taken out the Methylene dichloride. I went to my local spray shop suppliers and was delighted to find a 5 litre tin just called paint stripper with a nice warning on it to say it is Methylene chloride based and it works beautifully. It also costs half of what you will pay for something that will not work."

That's what I needed - pointers to stuff that does work and hasn't been reduced to the effectivity of wallpaper paste"By the way it may be of interest to everyone that "Nitromors" paint stripper is now no longer any good.

OP, if you had watched Classic Car Rescue on C5 on Monday, you'd know the answer to your question - prolific use of an angle-grinder is the answer!
very good 
I wanted to find the braised joints on the roof to 3/4 panels and windscreen pillars so I could remove it with a thin slitting disc - Paint stripper was the answer so I didn't thin the metal down as I need to use the removed roof skin on another car.
I used a hot air gun and scraper in the end not as neat or pretty but the roof will need re-painting anyway

Another tip - after applying your choice of gloop, cover the panel with a bin bag and leave for 45 mins.
Tried that with the new improved recipe NitromorsDid nothing more than without - I had plenty of time so I tried it on anything that I had and as stated earlier it was ineffective
