Hi Stuart

2 part wood hardener. Having tried all sorts over the years,
that's a
very strong opinion :-)

Fine, but that Ronseal stuff isn't 2-part, is it?

On reading the COSH data, maybe not, but then why the big plastic
cap on
the can? That usually contains the hardener IME.
Can't vouch for it if it's not 2 part but maybe it works well enough
with an acetone solvent

strewth....
the big plastic cap is the "handy" kettle in which to pour some
(single part) hardener (styrene) and dip your (single use) brush.....

I would have thought the acetone would attack the plastic, otherwise
why package it in a metal container?

styrene is not acetone, and acetone does not attack polythene, It comes
in polythene bottles.

Which begs the question why this Ronseal stuff, consisting mainly of
acetone, comes in a metal container.

Ronseal always comes in tins. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to say
'does what it says on the tin!
Simples!
