| 633013 | 2008-01-24 16:41:00 | We're talking a couple of square metres of well soaked in heavily contaminated engine oil on a porous substrate here Ciccy. I'd hate to think what that much talc would cost, though it might have made it smell a little better. This was a heavy-duty spill on an absorbent surface so "drawing it out" was never an option. It had to be dissolved and washed out and as I mentioned above, the results are better than I expected and it will be pretty much invisible once the surrounding cobblestones dirty up again. Cheers Billy 8-{) I buy the cheapest no name stuff. Quite right re suitability,this is good for oil leeks on conc drive. |

Now, all I have to do is find out where the bastard lives and see it he (or his parents) have got a cobblestone drive. If it is white concrete I'll probably have to use dark green or purple dye instead to get a durable result. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Greenies don't like it - but it ain't the Greenies Coblestones . Basol has been banned in Aussie due to the bloody Greenies |
