I also like the "Orange Goop®" hand cleaner (the kind with no pumice or abrasives of any kind), http://www.goophandcleaner.com
I have used it to get Black-Jack tar off my hands when running conduit on a roof. Also removeing tar off the family car. Made in USA! I find it at the local dollar store sometimes, and buy several at a time. --- On Wed, 7/23/08, Bob M. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Bob M. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] How to remove Scotch Kote > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2008, 2:55 AM > It seems there are a lot of "orange" cleaning > compounds.
