1. What's trisodium phosphate?

And what happens if you don't wear gloves?

3. More commonly known as TSP

Makes your skin feel really, really creepy � not unlike if you bathed it in gasoline. x(

2. I took the paint off some models with undiluted PineSol once and didn't wear gloves.

Eventually the skin on my hands grew back. Ouch.

5. Bought somebody else's 40K army and wasn't impressed by their paint-fu.

So I stripped and repainted them.

6. Ah

Can't go into battle in paint-fu.

7. Use Citrasolve

I haven't found anything that stuff won't clean, and it's environmentally friendly and smells great.

It's pricey, but you can dilute it a lot.

8. TSP is fairly basic--the high pH turns the fat in your tissues to soap

along the lines of lye soap.

That stuff really handles the grease though, doesn't it?

9. It does

I used it last night on the hideously fugly kitchen linoleum, which hadn't been cleaned since 1924. Now it looks only about 30 years old.

I especially like TSP for cleaning walls prior to painting.

11. Well... yeah.

Wear gloves or dilute it. Make sure you read the contraindications.
