Black Panther 1,579 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 And next year we'll sell the house and move aboard (although with Altex#5 maybe I'll be doing even more gardening??). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 641 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 A builders house is never finished. A panel beaters car needs panel beating. A house painter his house needs painting which leads to a yachtsman's lawn and garden,untidiest in the street? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 157 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Little Ripper Environmentally safe stripper similar to 'Sea to Sky' Slow acting, doesn't fizz up and let the paint harden up before you can get it off like most others. It doesn't have hydrogen peroxide in it so doesn't burn straight through your skin like most. Get it from Paint Plus, Glenfield. Joel there sails on my yacht and will look after you.

wheels 543 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 You sure Little Ripper will remove paint?? It seems to be an aggressive detergent. Ethoxylated Alcohol, Sodium Metasilicate and Trisodium Phosphate. All three are used in detergents and the Sodium Metasilicate is an alkaline with a pH level of 13. Which I suppose is what removes the paint. Sodium Hydroxide is pH 14 and is in some paint strippers. And then there are the strippers that use organic Solvents. Those are the ones with the very strong smells and the dissolved paint can dried hard again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 157 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Certainly does. It was formulated to spray onto old weatherboard villas through an airless, cover in masking film and walk away for a day or three. As long as it is kept moist it keeps working so will chew its way through many layers. I was working for Paint + when it was developed and did a lot of Beta testing including stripping my 68 Falcon back to bare steel. That thing has enamels, lawyers and epoxy on it and the stripper worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 anything that strips away the layers of lawyers has got be worth looking at! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Depends on where you apply said product! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 157 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Depends on where you apply it. When I say it doesn't burn through you skin I mean it doesn't do it straight away. Let's say somebody who has used it a bit - we'll call him Nigel, was applying the stripper and unknowingly got a bit on his hand... Then went for a number one and transferred said Stripper to Little Nigel before resuming the job... Well he is going to find himself with a bit of a tingling sensation in his downstairs operation after a few minutes which would require a quick dousing with water to said area before resuming life in relative comfort. Hypothetically of course, all characters and events have been manipulated to protect the innocent dumbarse at the root of the story... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Reminds me of Chilli seeds, my stag do, and a funny tingling, (that got less funny) after going for a slash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
