Bartoline Paint Predator Heavy Duty Paint and Varnish Stripper 500ml - High Performance Paint Remover - 1876 Professional Range

Worked well on glass paint but not on oak wood polish . Ordered to makeover dark polish to natural wood but so disappointed with the results even after 4 applications

This stuff is great! Did exactly what I needed, which was to remove old painted house numbers on my plastic wheelie bins so I could apply number stickers instead. I used a cloth rather than brush to apply the remover, waited an hour or so and scraped off the majority of the paint without any trouble. I applied a second round to clear off any stubborn paint, and after a wipe down I was able to apply my new stickers on clean plastic. The plastic surface of the wheelie bins themselves appeared to be unaffected by this remover which was good, some chemicals can corrode plastic but this seems ok. Three bins done with four numbers on each, and I only used about a third of the bottle.

It works but you need to leave it on for over an hour at least and it’ll only strip one coat off at a time. Not as effective as the old type of paint strippers but it does work eventually. I had to do 4 applications to strip some heavily overpainted copper pipes.

Great paint stripper, works fast a bit expensive as I got larger one for £7.45 easy to apply, very strong smell must open a window, great once all paint off love it

Works great

I bought this product to strip a pine table ;varnish on the top and painted legs. It didn’t work at all. In fact it made the job much more difficult. It turned the paint and varnish into a sticky mess which was not able to be scraped. For the top I used a belt sander cleaning it with a wire brush as it became clogged then orbital sander. For the legs a heat gun and wire brush. The scrappings which remained sticky have made a mess of the shed floor and need to be removed too. Apparently the active chemical that was previously used in these products is now a banned substance so the different brands are all much the same. I won’t be bothering with them again.
