Man, that stuff EATS THE LEGS off an IC! Larry I was looking at installed some "Pergo" type flooring, and I asked the salesman if pet urine will hurt the laminate. He said no problem with dog urine, but cat urine will destroy it. Maybe we should consider cat urine as a WMD.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I have a Snap On tool box in my garage. While the garage door was open, the neighbor's cat came in and sprayed **** on the bottom lip and bottom drawer of the tool box. I smelled it, then saw it, wiped it off before it was dry, and the next day the paint was bubbled up and peeling off. They oughta market it. Probably cleans chrome bumpers too. If there are any chrome bumpers. --Vic- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'd be scared of putting it on my new truck's plastic bumper, the thing would rot off! |

: Import = expensive to repair, more reliable I don't find my Mercedes-Benz cars any more expensive to fix than the Chevy....ESPECIALLY if you do it over the long run! I had a tire fixed on my '83 300TD wagon, today. That's the first maintenance, other than oil changes every 3000 miles for the diesel, I've paid for in 8 months on "Old Reliable"...(c; Larry -- QUOTE OF THE MONTH: "I have been to several major Chinese cities and have seen first hand shops crammed with obviously fake American products." - Jon Dudas, Undersecretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Rights. How can they be fake? The Chinese make all "American Products" I use! |
