Geoff,
I have been looking at your paint stripping experience using Biostrip. Which type is it? I have looked on the Biostrip website and on Amazon. Amazon has a footnote in the description of Biostrip 20 which says it is not suitable for automotive paint stripping. I am attempting to remove all the paint on a 1961 Landrover for my son-in- law.
Cheers,
Dave.

Geoff,
Just noticed you used Biostrip 20. Probably no good for modern car paints but ok for old Landrovers. Cheers,
Dave.

I would watch for compatibility with alloy, as iam lead to believe that some will eat into the metal if not cleaned correctly

Dave,
I used Bartoline TX10 for the first time last week, to strip back to metal an A7 R47 headlight shell (cellulose paint). I was much impressed, it really does what it is supposed to do.

No idea if it's works on modern paints, as never tried it.
Does not attack non-ferrous as far as I can see.
Will order Bartoline as Ruby body 'should' be back in the Carport soon.
Just finished blasting items using crushed glass.
Busy with update.

Geoff - I have at last recovered from that 'bleep' head cold!

Thanks Ian ,Geoff and John,
I will probably buy small quantities of each and decide which one is the best. Landrover progress on hold at the moment after going for a run in my A7 yesterday. Extremely noisy so engine out and completely dismantled. The front crankcase bearing replacement lip washer had come loose, wearing down the teeth on the crank gear. I was looking on a Landrover website and you can still get the evil non-compliant nitro mors type stuff but only if you are a "registered professional "restorer.
Cheers,
Dave.

I use 3M clean-n-strip discs on all sorts of metals and wood. The mess is just vacuumed.

The thing is the size of these has little to do with the price. SO..... I buy the large ones meant to fit floor polishers and just cut out several of any size I need for the price of a single 8" disc. Cuts easily with a pair of tin snips.......

Just an idea.
