How to remove concrete residue from plastic
My first approach would be diluting some phosphoric acid (etchant for
automotive primer, metal-prep). Mix in a Labeled trigger spray bottle, and wet the residue, checking adhesion and re-wetting as needed. I believe the muriatic would work, but it's a much nastier product to have around machines. Some of those tile cleaners like lime-away (can't recall the one with 3 letters), which contain phosphoric acid may be effective, too. When the residue begins to release, a stiff bristle brush would likely remove most of it without stripping off the epoxy? case paint. -- WB .......... "Ed Huntress" wrote in message ...

While muriatic acid (which is largely hydrochloric acid) isn't wildly dangerous, it will take your skin off if you let it. And also use goggles. Joe Gwinn |
