Bartoline TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper 5L – Extra Strong, Non-Caustic Paint Remover for Wood, Metal & More

It ws more than I need for the job but always comes in handy. Follow the instructions and it does exactly what it says on the container.

As described

The product did not remove any paint from my decking. I requested a refund when returning 1/4 of bottle. As I purchased a similar product slightly dearer Nd that remove the 2 layers of paint instantly. So proved this product either faulty or mid sold. Still no refund

It works, but not as effectively as I would want. It might be that the paint is too old (layers up to 90 years old), the wood is too soft or I haven't mastered the right technique, but it is very tedious work, the result is not perfect and will require sanding or further cleaning. The good point - it does not smell that bad or very strong

Like the fact you can actually breathe while using this, and the place doesn't smell of it for days. I like that it's easy to use. What I wasn't keen on was it didn't do as good a job of removing paint, and the time it takes to work. Once I got through the paint, and applied it on old varnish...loved it. Yes it's messy to use but the ease of removing a dreaded coat of varnish makes it a winner for me.

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

Bought this product to enable me to strip dark orange varnish from my interior pine doors. The doors only have a couple of coats of varnish on so I found I only needed one layer of TX10, left to do its magic for one hour. It was easily scraped off after this time. The smell is non-offensive and disappears after about 48 hours. Would highly recommend this product to aid such a tedious job!

Not impressed. Used about 3 litres today trying to get varnish off a headboard and blanket box. Dame application all over as per instructions. Some parts worked well and some had no impact. After 6 hours solid work, now have very patchy wood which looks worse than I started. For info, I was double gloving with disposable nitrile gloves and they were just dissolving on contact. Used about 60 gloves. Not sure whether to persevere and do a 3rd coat or whether this will make it worse. Either way wouldn't buy again
