pflaming Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) I mixed a gallon of this in a paper paint bucket. When I went to pick up that bucket some 10 minutes later the bottom started to fall out and the contents soaked my feet which were in "industrial sandles".Then I noticed the polish on my manicured nails (lol) began to peal off so I headed for the water hose. I conclude that this mixture is NOT vinegar water. I am going to finish washing the walls of the "office" with this product then prime it with another product from Zinsser called "B-I-N. Anyone have experience with these products? Edited July 23, 2014 by pflaming Quote
Don Coatney Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 I personally do not really care nor want to know the color on your toe nails but possibly some on here might be interested. We will see who chimes in. Quote

pflaming Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Posted July 24, 2014 Wow, I ask an honest question about soot smell removing/covering products and I get responses about my hygene. Sure glad I didn't mention the ring in my tongue and its mate in my navel! Quote
Merle Coggins Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 You kind of lobbed that one up there, Paul. I have no experience or knowledge to offer regarding TSP or soot clean up, and I'm doing my best to keep quiet about your choice in body bling. Merle Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 PP I could comment but I would just be repeating the very words when I recommended TSP to wash your stuff when we spoke on the phone long ago right after the fire. I have TSP here at the house..it has multiple uses..I even saw on the shelf just this week, TSP that is phosphate free...so I wondered to myself..how can they call it TSP...phosphates are not to be played with PP..read and follow labels..potent stuff...keep from your eyes please..do wear goggles..for certain do not let the powder get into your eyes while pouring from the box and such...it is potent diluted..just imagine what it is when full strength 1 Quote
busycoupe Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 BIN is methanol based. The fumes are fierce. I used it once to prime the inside of a closet, the fumes nearly did me in. Be careful if you use it. Quote
greg g Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Used BIN to treat a drywall ceiling that got water stained by a slow leak in the bathroom above. Needed two coats to keep the stain from bleeding through. The provide proper ventilation is a must when using it. We used the non phosphate TSP last year to prep our concrete pad patio for paint. I mixed it up in a hardware store hand sprayer and wet down the surface, agitated with a stiff bristle floor broom and rinsed off withthe power washer. Did a good job and edged the grass around the perimeter where the runoff drained. also noticed the soles of my old boat shoes were really nice and clean afterward, for an added benefit. Quote
pflaming Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Posted July 24, 2014 After reading the above three posts, I very carefully reread the instructions,et al. The TSP/90 does not require scrubbing the chemical action does the work then a good clean up with clean water finishes the application, at least that is what I did. I like the BIN primer. It applies very easily and seems to really cover. According to what I understood, precleaning with something like TSP is not necessary, but the soot was so extreme I washed down the walls first anyway. The final coat will really look nice. Will try to accomplish that tomorrow. Thanks guys for the insights. This small thread is proof that this has to be one of the best forums available. It is focused enough to keep us on topic yet flexible for related challenges. Quote
