That's too bad, Pete. Did you use the Catalyzed clear? I don't think so Jeff, it wasn't a clear you had to mix two parts for. I'm currently attempting to remove the paint with various products so fingers crossed!  |

Pete, this might sound ridiculous, but have you thought of brake fluid  ? I know it's aggressive, but in small amounts it might help. |

Well the bodyshell has been sitting in a sealed container with a whole bottle of dettol for 48 hours so this evening I decided to have a look and see if anything had happened. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found that the dettol had actually worked!! Bearing in mind that I sprayed the body with a lacquer based paint over my usual primer and I'm sure you will be suprised too.  The body and in fact the whole house now smells like a bloody hospital but that's a small price to pay for a major save on this build! Also the dettol is dirt cheap compared to other products. I've now got to try and do a better paint job or perhaps contract it out?  Flippin chuffed it worked though! |

Also i suppose being as Dettol is water soluble a good wash will clear any residue which might affect paint |

Wooooooo Hoooooooo! That's just excellent, Pete. Great save, Bud.  So now I'm going to show my Colonial side and ask, What the feck is Dettol? |

Dettol is and antiseptic liquid used to clean cuts/grazes and also used as a antibacterial cleaner/disinfectant etc |

It is Chloroxylenol which is banned in a few countries now.
It’s more or less harmless to humans and dogs but lethal to cats, even from licking their paws after walking over a damp floor, and water life.
I don’t think you can get it in the US so oven cleaner is your best bet Jeffers B)
