Title: Paint stripper.
Post by: Johnny4428 on October 26, 2024, 11:16:34 AM: Donâ€™t know if anybody has tried this stuff, it seems to work and doesnâ€™t immediately dry up like some other products do. So you can let it soak for a good period of time before attacking with brush or wool or whatever. Think a can will go a long way too.

Where did you buy it from and how much was it? Did it perform well?

Post by: Johnny4428 on October 27, 2024, 01:22:15 PM: Dave there is a local industrial supplier called Mcgreggors (although they do have stores elsewhere).
I had already removed a lot of paint from my tank before I saw this stuff. But seemed to work very well at dissolving what paint was left underneath. It was Â£10 for the can. I was looking at the stuff that Ian (orcad-Ian) recommended but itâ€™s in a gallon can. I thought I would have to live another 100 years to use that. (Imagine dying and leaving half a can of paint stripper! Tragic!) 😂

When I go I'm going to leave 3/4 tub of valve grinding paste that I bought when I was 18!

We never learn the lessons of history.😁😁😁

This one Ted! Think mine was bought in the 80â€™s, you can still get them too, think Iâ€™ll be leaving the empty tin Dave!

That's the very tin design - it's probably been unchanged since launch!

Donâ€™t think I ever looked that regal! Although someone once said I was a right royal PIA.
