(Actually, that would be a huge shame as it's such an entertaining read but I think they're not as bad as Peter made out). Tim |

I have smears of silicone on my overalls, I wonder if silicone remover would get it off without damaging the fabric? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Whether it would remove it I dunno (I don't find it particularly effective; but I doubt it would harm the fabric. Whatever it is, it seems relatively innoccuous stuff - has to be so it doesn't damage a plastic bath. David |
