Graffiti Removal: Nitromors[4.9mb]
Conclusion
This second trial using Nitromors, following the first of the powder poultice, had proved similarly ineffective.
However, we persevered with new trials, ultimately managing to gain a good result by the repeat application of Stonehealth No6 Paintstripper. This proved to the client's satisfaction, so the faintest residual shadow of a stain remained unresolved, however slight its trace.'
