Stripping paint off external walls

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to get 70years+ of old paint off the walls of my cottage. I want to get down to the bare plaster and repaint.

    I've tried the power-washer and scraping but some of the paint just will not budge. I don't want to go down the sand-blasting route.

    Any suggestions?

    Paint on Nitromorse, leave on over night and wash off in the morning.

    Thanks Uncle,

    I see it comes in a can or else a 400ml bottle with brush (slightly different product I think). Is it the can that you recommend?

    Is it available in most DIY stores?

    It was always the can i used and you should be able to get in in any good diy shop or hardware.
