Re: [time-nuts] Removing goop was: =Re: 10811 Outer oven controller schematic
I've found that a lot of sticky things, including sticker glue, is oil soluble. So I just use a liberal amount of vegetable oil with a cloth to dissolve the stuff and get rid of the goop. Then you are left with an oily surface (you probably shouldn't use this method on cloth which might be stained by the vegetable oil). The second stage of the process then can be a variety of cleaners to remove the liquid oil. Dove dishwashing soap can be quite effective. Anyway, this two step process works quite well for a lot of things that would take more work scrubbing and scraping otherwise. In many cases it does a better job, without having to use harsher chemicals.

Second the WD-40 best label adhesive remover - and is so gentle it will leave the skin on aluminium.. Just spray it on and let it soak in.

See... http://www.goofoffproducts.com/ Maybe Heavy Duty Remover or power Cleaner and Degreaser might be the best current options. The one MDS for Goof-off I looked at didn't mention xylene. At least here in California, I think law has forced removal of xylene and toluene from most products several years back and is tightening more and more. I didn't find a good link describing current laws in my searches. I think the bug and tar remover that I suggested was first formulated with either xylene or toluene but the product I have been using for the last few years doesn't have either of those VOC's mentioned. Probably works less well, but still worked for most of my non-water-based gunk or glue removal tasks. My three main go-to's are soap and water, alcohol, and the bug and tar, depending on what gunk I am looking at. Occasionally I might use acetone, some other hydrocarbon mix, or some of the small remaining amount of MEK I bought before it was banned for sale here. But maybe this is all a bit tangential or off-topic for the group. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Re: [time-nuts] Removing goop was: =Re: 10811 Outer oven controller schematic
Gentlemen, In my home you will find a fair variety of common solvents. MEK, Toluene And Xylene will always be there. Of course, it is only fair to warn everyone that the common industrial manufacture of Toluene and Xylene do not remove all of the closely related (chemically) and universally recognized carcinogen. Therefore, use reasonable care and ventilation and not more than you have to. You can't expect the less harmful and more commonly used aliphatics like the alcohols, to remove the tarry stuff. And if you don't want to remove your desirable finishes you can go to the chlorinated solvents. But be warned that those are known to cause funny bumps and growths in you, too! But just in case I've scared you off I will finish with a statement that when I come in contact with poisonous plant material and begin to itch I simply take MEK or Toluene on a paper towel and use it to energetically remove the invisible waxy stuff that the plant uses to make sure the irritant stays in place and causes the misery of blisters and open sores! If you get this done in the itch stage and before the blisters appear you will be very pleasantly surprised! Even my daughter-in-law, who agrees with very little I say, admits I'm right about this!

Sorry, all, got a personal mixed in! pls ignore! Don Dr. Edward H. Currie DW-40 is a good label goop remover ... - Original Message - From: Don Latham d...@montana.com To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement time-nuts@febo.com Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 8:42 PM Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Removing goop was: =Re: 10811 Outer oven controller schematic Xylene is availble as goof-off in paint departments. Graham This has been an interesting discussion on how to remove goop from stuff. I find that one or the other of the common methyl or ethyl alcohols is sufficient in many cases to remove goop and has proven to be quite safe on almost all surfaces. When one of the common alcohols doesn't work I resort to a product marketed by Circa 1850 under the name of Super DeGooper. The label says it Removes these Goops: Oil Crayon, Tar, Marker, Gum, Labels, Shoe Polish, Adhesive, Duct Tape, Lipstick, Grease, stickers, Dried Latex Paint but in my experience is quite effect on much, much more and is safe on most surfaces. The caution label indicates that it contains xylene. Works for me and when it doesn't I then resort to the much stronger lacquer thinner or acetone. All are flammable and are used carefully with adequate ventilation. And when all else fails, good old scraping is used. cheers, Graham ve3gtc On 13-07-31 11:15 AM, Rex wrote: I suspect by gas he meant gasoline. I don't know about what paint remover he meant but I have another suggestion that might have worked. For cleaning label gunk off of used test equipment I have used automotive bug and tar remover.
