Bartoline TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper Solvents cannot be sold to customers under the age of 18 The TX10 Paint and Varnish Stripper is a highly effective non Methylene Chloride formulation, which is non flammable and is biodegradable. As the product is water based, there is minimal evaporation. It clings 100% to vertical surfaces, hence no drips, runs or waste. It is suitable for use both indoors and out and is used by serious professionals and novices. A generous coating is applied by brush to the surface to be stripped and left for approximately 30 minutes. For areas where there are more than five layers, a second coat maybe be necessary. Once TX10 has penetrated to the substrate, it can be scraped off leaving the surface clean. The stripped area can then be rubbed down using sandpaper, steel wool or a scrubbing brush.
