Hi Petra,
I haven't noticed you on the site recently
Busy stripping that floor by the looks of it
Have you tried Mike B to see what Express might have ?
Is it the oil base that's the trouble, oh, and what type of flooring is it ?
I've used a product called 'Floorstrip' with reasonable success and I will check with my supplier to see if suitable once I know about the type of flooring involved.

Hi Petra
If you could let me know a little more about the surface you are trying to clean and the type of covering (layers)I may be able to help but only if it is definately oil based.

most floor strippers are used for sealents only if it is varnish as you say then i would ether find out what was the brand used and contact the manufacture for the stripping agent (most manufacturers make a stripping agent for their sealents however if it is varnish then you will most probebly have to sand the floor we do alot of pubs that have been dimond glazed and the only way to get them stripped is with a belt sander (about 20 quid a day all hire shops have them working along the length of the timber gives a very even finish, be carefull if using this method on domestics as most belt sanders only come upto 240 grit paper so if you are re-varnishing the floor then following the first coat give the hardened varnish a light sand prior to the second coat to give it an nice finsh.
