Well a towel rail actually & my master plan has been scuppered !
I am about to remove quite a large old central heating towel rail on which the paint is cracked and peeling. I had planned to send it off to the paint removers - "dippers" - I have done garden gates that way and it is great. However, they say that the caustic soda dip they use wont remove enamel paint from radiators so they wont do it.
So is there any paint remover that will - organic solvent based ? Alternatively, I am thinking of burning it off with a blowtorch - as there are 20 tubes running across the rail and wire brush, physical methods etc., are likely to be tricky and time consuming (as well as hard graft !)
Any recommendations appreciated.
