If anybody else here is planning to do any stripping and needs to buy
nitromors then Focus (round here atleast) have it on offer (or priced
incorrectly!)
If you buy 1litre cans you get 8litres for less than the price of a 5L
tin.

Yes, got some last week and queried it with the checkout.  She just
shrugged and said "yep, it's stupid isn't it?"

It took me a minute to work it out. 1L is actually cheaper than 500ml!

Bugger - just bought a load yesterday, used both tins today tho, but
given up now and have the 2000w hairdryer on it - is proving much
easier, and far more fun!  I've systematically set off every smoke
detector in the house!

They better still have it at the same price tommorrow - I've run out
again!
Reckon i can put the tins in my recycling box? They do take tins and
cans but will they want ones that say 'toxic' on the sides in big
letters?

Get a hot air gun!  After going through several pots of Nitromors and
getting not very far (not that I don't think that it is a good product
for the right type of thing) I spent £14.99 on a 2000w hot air gun from
Wickes with a load of fancy attachments and have done the hallway -
skirting, door frames etc. in two half days - would have taken longer
(and cost more!) using Nitromors.

Trouble with using a hot air gun on sheet alluminium is that the
finish resembles being shotblasted with half bricks and pebbles...

Ah... I see the problem!!

I understand that Nitromors works quite well on car paint - as
a guy down the road from me (when I lived in London) found
out after his wife poured it all over his car after she found
out he was cheating on her!

Since i'm stripping the exact same thing - that is why i'm using
nitromors!
I also get the feeling that using my hot air gun all day for a couple
of days would cost me similar in electricity as the nitromors did!

If you were using it commercially, it would be hazardous waste.  Where
has the contents of the tin gone?  In the bin (i.e. to landfill) or
down the drain?  Neither is great, but there is no practical
alternative really.

I'd stick it in the recycling bin.
