Re: [Repeater-Builder] How to remove Scotch Kote
It seems there are a lot of orange cleaning compounds. A couple of years ago I had my roof replaced. Even though they set up tarps to catch the old shingles, the siding still suffered a lot of scuff marks as stuff slid off the roof. When the job was done, the roofers went around the house spraying this citrus-smelling stuff on the vinyl siding, waited about 10 seconds, then wiped it and the tar streaks right off. If you leave it on too long, it'll take the paint right off aluminum siding and the stuff they use to wrap around exposed wood on houses. Most of this stuff is only sold commercially, but if it looks orange in color and smells of citrus, chances are it'll do the job for tar, gum, most adhesives, and Scotch Kote.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] How to remove Scotch Kote
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.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] How to remove Scotch Kote
Hello Scott - I had to reply - I drove a tractor trailer rig until retirement and had my head underneath a trailer thousands of times - normally always with a cap with the company logo on it. Let me tell you there is nothing much nastier than 5th wheel grease - I got a gob of this on my cap and then got into my pickup that has this late model fuzzy interior and I rubbed this cap around on the light gray fuzzy headliner all the way home one night - I mean I really ground it in too. We have here an Orange spray cleaner made by ZEP and it is normally only found around commercial installations. I held a paper towel behind the area sprayed and it completely washed this area clean right back to original appearance when dry - It was awesome - I thought the headliner was ruined but after drying you couldn't even tell where it had ever been stained. There must be something to that Orange cleaner. 73 Dave / NØATH Sorry about the lack of repeater connection on my post - - Original Message - From: Scott Zimmerman To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 6:57 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] How to remove Scotch Kote Awhile back, I had asked this list for ideas on how to remove Scotch Kote weather proofing.
