Solvent Free = IT DOESNT WORK

[dobbslc]

Caustic soda is the base for any decent oven cleaner. Having said that, DCM would probably do it, so try to find an old tin of Nitromors

Here's mine.

Yes it works.
Yes it burns.
No you can't have it.

Third coat of white squash [ water based acrylic varnish] applied this morn , and it does look very smart ,,,



but will it last?

 

[tom2207]

Will be interesting to find out, its a lot of work preparing floors
for it not to last a reasonable time.

yep ,,, I didnt go overboard [ no pun intended] but even a once over with a da and 80 , then a pad sander with 120 to knock the worst marks off , and leave it looking ok took a full day , then a scuff sanding with 400 to knock the nibs off before recoating took a couple of hours ,,, To do it really nicely would have taken a week at least I think ,,,, but its freshened things up and that was all I was after ,,, still took 60 quids worth of varnish and 40 quid in sanding discs and paper ,,, if I had counted man hours there would have been a carpet put down instead ,,,

As I seem to be attacked by house flies in the kitchen and office I've noticed RAID fly killer seems to do very little even though it still has a list of nasty sounding ingredients.
I looked at alternatives and most seem to suggest throwing the can at the flies!
I remember when one skirt in the room and flies would drop to the floor in a few minutes.
Anyone found anything that works?
Even thinking of fly papers!

Fly papers are the dogs danglers, once a few land they call their mates. when they are full spray them with gold paint and you can use them as Christmas decorations.

Worse.
Today, I found 56 E bay extinguishers that could not work.

In a care home.

That's greed and negligence.
We would have picked that up years ago as we visited Care homes every 3 months.

First visit for me, on a national contract.
A certain big well known company quoted for the work. The site decided to do it then selfs.
None would of worked.
Brackets onto the wall with one screw and grip fix
No signs
2kgco2 weighed in at 3.1kg
6lt foams with no guage, just a blanking cap.
Cartridge units rusty
Cartridges 20 years old.
Powders contents compressed
That’s on the new units

I just removed the cat from my chainsaw

Poor moggy, much cleaning up involved? [sorry....]

 

[Black Catz]

I had a girfriend with Dysons Disease


whined a lot and wouldnt suck ... does that count

 

[Danez]

Cheap drills that don't drill should be advertised as manufactured from "case hardened" plasticine, or to save time just label it as":landfill"

Chineseium carpbide

imagine, a cat in
a chainsaw,

Never hard of that before, that's insane

It's like my petrol lawnmower, it says 'eco friendly' on the engine which just makes me think it'll not last as long and not be as powerful meaning it'll have to run for longer....

reckon that'll have a cat on it?

 

[steveo3002]

yes this is all a big bug bear of mine,...all this watered down rubbish in the name of being green but it isnt

you need twice as much stuff to do half the job that lasts half as long , so more tins of paint /weedkiller /whatever in the landfill rather than buying something that works and lasts as advertised , all the money and pollution making then transporting around weed killer /flyspray /paintstripper and it doesnt even work ? world gone mad !

But its safe ,,,,

The other way to look at it is that its interfering with natural selection , the whole population will get weaker ,, those who cant work out that you shouldnt keep weedkiller in a pop bottle will now survive and breed ,,,, cant be good .

 

[steveo3002]

heh everyone used to have pop bottles full of hazardous stuff back in the day lol

I believe its often caused by eating wedding cake.

 

[Keithmac]

I just used a tin of environmental friendly engine degreaser that does not degrease anything.

I use neat or 50/50 Traffic Film Remover and a brush, works a treat but don't let it dry before rinsing off.

 

[Keithmac]

Can you still buy proper creosote?, could do with treating some marine ply I've bought for laying under cars on our gravel drive.
