Duralac removal

[Tomkat17]

Can anyone tell me how to remove duralac from my mast surface?

white spirit if not totally dried-out

Thinners works well.

Not wishing to be controversial, but which number of Thinners?

I haven't found a solution yet!

The good news is that it is quite easy to either scrape off excess or use Trichlorethylene to remove it when not dried.
The bad news is that it effectively anodises aluminium and once set the stain will never come out (unless you remove the top layer).

Thanks but because I didn't realise its staining qualities I was not meticulous about removing excess, thinking that I could attend to that when it was dry.

As a result I'm into your second paragraph territory! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I shall know better next time
