I got distracted from cleanup last week after a WB Discharge job, and left some tools dirty over the weekend.

WOWSERS!!

I've done that before, and should know better. I've used Lacquer thinner and paper towels, but its really a big job.

Any tips?

THANKS!
Stan



P.S.  I joined a "Fat Forum" after Christmas to help with motivation on some much needed weight loss. It has taken WEIGH too much time, BUTT is working. It's cut into my free time to sit in front of TheShirtboard and post. I've lurked some, but just haven't posted. IN MONTHS, no less. 

I'm still aROUND. (Well.....mostly.  All butt about 65 pounds of me.)

Sincere apologies to those who may give a darn. To those who don't, I'll extend a slightly thinner middle finger. (In jest, of course)  ;)

Congrats on the weight loss.  I'm inspired now to get rid of this watermelon sized mid section. I'm not sure on the removal of dried discharge/wb
It's not a job if you love doing it.

Lots of water to re-hydrate and windex/Amonia based cleaners work great.

To get out fine/stubborn residue we will grab our easyway 701 degreaser and use a scrubbing pad.


fyi I am 6'2" and 300 lbs... I could stand to loose a few myself.  Awesome job on finding motivation!

I'd start with a good soak
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

So you (and Frog) soak them in just straight water for a while? 

I printed one screen with CCI Fox Red and that particular blade is STILL wAaAaaaay PINKish! I don't use the EasyWay stuff, but I've got scrubbies.   They don't do much to remove  Adipose Tissue.

I've tried 'em.

I don't run discharge, and am just falling back on old waterbased experience.
And, like Colin implied as well, soaking is just the start.
