Banned by the Fourth Reich.

Yup, all the good old stuff that *really* worked well has been banned
by the EU. The names on the tins might be the same, but the product is
just crap. Hammerite is another victim that springs to mind. And
Nitromoors likewise. And then look what they did to powerful hoovers:
all banned. In so many ways, many of which we're unaware of, the EU
has made our lives so much harder - and they've charged us a fortune
for the privilege just to add insult to injury. ****s.

so they have banned thixotropic paint then ?????
