Island Time 1,215 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 On the subject of RIBS, I was repairing one today for a customer. An old, dirty, aquapro. They had asked how I cleaned it.

Its also the easiest way to clean the dirty tubes as well, and softens old glue for removal, often mixed 50/50 with acetone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
