Thats underbody seal, and yep. I basically had to shower in white spirit.

[dieselnut]

Oh ., the one thing I don't have in the house... and it's Sunday .

And I bet it's one of these things that needs doing before it's dry...

Cheers guys and gals ! Turps has shifted the lot (now why didn't I think to look in the back of the cupboard under the sink )

Now I just stink of turps I can't win

[parrot of doom]

Sugar and washing up liquid would also shift it.

Take care, folks....

If I did that, I'd SERIOUSLY knacker my skin.

As I discovered when I used to mess about with model engines as a lad....the fuel almost destroyed my hands and white spirit, etc, does me no good at all, years on.....

Read the tin - you need cellulose thinners, not turps or white spirit. Diffrerent animal.

[tvrgit]

Hammerite isn't soluble in white spirit.

I usually give my hands a rub with a rag with a few drops of hammerite thinners on, then once it's dried a bit it (mostly) comes off with soap and hot water.

Hehe, there are things we don't know about SBM - just take note of his silence on the questions I raised on this thread...
