It's absolutely useless Now, any suggestions for a paint stripper that works would be appreciated.
It used to be that if you splashed it on the back of your hand you knew all about it, I reckon you could bath in this stuff and not feel it

They took all the good stuff out of it a number of years ago thanks to health and safety. I have tried a few other brands but all hopeless. For smaller articles wrapping them tightly in a plastic bag keeps the fumes in and improves the performance.
Unfortunately this is a big cam cover, I left it for two hours and it hasn't even touched it, I know it's just aerosol paint because I sprayed it a few years backOriginally Posted by jonah
Starchem synstrip is very good if you can get it.
Would you like a jar of Uncle Alec's Chili Relish?
EU banned methylene chloride - key ingredient of the old version.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Similar experience with Jeye's Fluid. Used to be a great mosskiller, even in very low concentrations.
Try sodium hypochlorite, works wonders.
Just used up 4 ltrs on my monoblock driveway - it's now about £33 per 4ltrs.
Dilute from 14% by vol to around 10% for use, and make sure if spraying it, that you clean off the pump - as it corrodes metals.
Don't get any on your clothes - it bleaches where it touches.
I bought in bulk at 18 quid for 25 litres at 15% juiced down 4 parts water to one part solution. (Walker Bros, Oldham)
You're right about it bleaching clothing/shoes out, no bother.
I brush it one my drive with a long hair soft sweeper, leave it 20-30 mins then rinse it off with a jet wash, looks like new on completion.
Would wrapping it in clingfilm assist?
Interesting, our resin drives got a bit of algae on it this winter & if this will be the best thing to to try, or maybe start a little milder like algae-gone or whatever it’s called.

If it's that expensive use household bleach. Only ~5% but should still do the job even if you have to use more.
Thanks. Think I posted for some suggestions a while ago. Nothing I’ve tried has been as effective as a very small amount of Jeyes in a few litres of water!
Jayes used to be great for keeping ants out of the house, go all the way round the outside and they won't cross it, we used to have an ant man once a year, when he retired he told me that, it does work
Creosote is still available from agricultural suppliers .
I was given the tip by an employee as it’s used in/on chicken buildings as it prevents “ chicken mite “ .
The only draw back is it’s in 25 litre containers , however my friends all have creosote treated sheds and fences .
