Default Peter piper plopped down a patch of purple primer

A friend of mine was doing some PVC work in his kitchen.
Slopped on the purple primer, and some dropped on the
hardwood floor.

His grand kids love the really kewl colors. But, SWMBO wants
the purple spots out.

He's tried gasoline on a paper towel, or alcohol. I
suggested clear primer, on a paper towel, to redissolve the
purple dye.

What has anyone found to work? Flamethrower is not an option
at this point.

Based on my limited experience with purple primer the solution is easy -
area rug.

The "solvent" for purple PVC primer is acetone or MEK......

but these could also be solvents or damaging to the floor finish.

Depending on the size & extent of the purple primer mess, it could
(maybe) be carefully removed mehanically (thumb nail, scraper, steel
wool, etc) and again, depending on the floor finish, the finish
could be touched up.

I splashed purple primer on a pool deck, I never attempted to clean
it up hoping it would fade or wear off........was still there 5 years
later when I sold the house.

cheers
Bob

the formica vanity in the bathroom last weekend, Guess what? That stuff ate
a nice ring in the formica. Oh well , she wants all new anyway :-(

I fixed some worn spots in my floor with some wipe-on-poly. If the
stain can be sanded out without going all the way to the wood it
should be no more of a problem than what I had. Problem is I spilt
some of that stuff on some finished wood and it went all the way
through the finish. Fortunately for me it was scrap.

I'm sad to read that, but I respect the honest answer.

I think he is going to wearing that a while. The dye is
formulated not
to come off and the solvent does a great job of cutting
through the
finish and penetrating the wood.

Or, buy the pint size can, and do the rest of the floor?

Some dyes will turn colorless on oxidation, so a hydrogen peroxide
solution might fade it. Failing that, experiment with acidic (oxalic)
or basic solutions (ammonia). Good luck. let us know what seems to
work.

Good thoughts. I'll post again, when I find out more. In the
meantime, it's not looking good. Except for the grand kids
who like the color spots.

If Peter piper plopped down a patch of purple primer, Peter
piper's wife wasn't pleased.

Sounds's like Peter Piper's partner may be predictably and protractedly perturbed. Perhaps Peter's
partner might be placated by Peter 'pologizing profusely?

Peric proudly and properly pontificated, and positively
presupposes pandering and prostration in order to placate
the princess. Pravo!
