Sticky Binoculars

You're replying to a 5 year old posting.

Still, I suppose you made up for that by having 5 goes at it.

"Sticky stuff remover".

Ok, but I've never heard of that before. Handy to know though.

I thought everybody had heard of it, most often used to get label residue off furniture etc.

You thought wrong. I find white spirit perfectly adequate.

Well the sticky binocular poster hadn't.

Doesn't that remove colour from things?

Or you. Which is odd as I thought it was as well known as white spirit.

Start with meths, then move on to white spirit. But not for wooden furniture.

Multiple postings and you still didn't notice it's a 4 and a half years old query!

I remember this thread. Just goes to show, Nostalgia is what it used to be after all! Brian

They stopped selling it about 5 years ago ...

No they didn't. There are 153 sellers selling it on Ebay, 2/3rds is the De-solv-it original, the rest are Rapid etc equivalents.

The Wickes *solvent* uPVC cleaner works well for this purpose.

It's a waste of good stuff, but whisky might help.

At least one of us has a dirty mind.
