Panel wipe is ok though isn't it ?

 

[tom.moran]

Alright, I'll get some panel wipe and try again.

Make sure its the right kind of panel wipe (naptha type). Get the wrong kind and it really will get messy.

 

[tom.moran]

I use brake cleaner at work, it's pretty much pure naptha, I'll get an ingredients lost of the bottle and do my research

Oh four letter word

And this is why I offered you 5L of fast panel wipe LOL!

Yep, just pour the ethanol out and blast it through with some Naphtha etc.

Ethanol hopefully won't upset it too much if you dilute anything left and clean through with a suitable fuel. You shouldn't need to strip it unless you are feeling brave. Neil can provide you with some fast panel wipe if you want to play it safe or you could buy some unleaded of course.

Would you like me to do a GB on alcohol stoves?

I'd love to be able to offer these alcohol lanterns but they are DIY:

Right, I checked the stuff at work,

[tom.moran]

It's basically brake cleaner which I get for nowt from work

 

[rik_uk3]

But it might suit others who have to pay. Given your track record with fuels what is the data sheet on the break fluid you get free?

 

[tom.moran]

I'll check it out tomorrow, what's the ingredients of panel wipe

 

[Robbi]

Tom, complete change of subject but is your forum name anything to do with fly rods ?

 

[tom.moran]

Nope, it's my reel name, see what I did there 😁

 

[Robbi]

I did !

Thank goodness for that.

FPW costs me about £11 for 5L. I'm guessing the brake cleaner would be more expensive to buy?

This is n-hexane, a more specific fraction.

I'm guessing this would do the trick. At your own risk, fireball and all.

Got a couple of splits in my mantles, but it's not turning down low any more. Likely to be a blockage?

 

[tom.moran]

I think the fireball was because I turned it on then went to get the lighter before lighting it

If I was a life insurance agent, I wouldn't be rushing for your business!
