DOT 3 brake fluid
Believe it or not, I used some cheap brake fluid to strip an entire boat. It was an 18' Lund aluminum skiff that needed stripping for a repaint. After brushing on the brake fluid, I wrapped the hull with cheap plastic drop cloth sheets. That kept the hull from drying out and that brake fluid just ate the many layers of old paint right off. After about 3 days I washed off all the crud and it was ready for etching primer and fresh paint.

Yep I remember the 80s when they came out with all the environmentally friendly stuff that didn't work. The old stuff was way better, but can't get any more. I use the Berryman and Purple Power for most stuff anymore.

Why do you think the Brits drank/drink their beer and booze at room temperature?. Lucas, prince of darkness was also the manufacturer who was responsible for the production of refrigerators over there.

The Labwork carb came today. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed it came from TEMU. Everything about it is cheapola, but I expected that. I can barely get the choke to close. The slider return spring is so strong I may have to cut some coils off. Otherwise the throttle hand grip will be a bear to turn. There is no indication Labwork had anything to do with this carb except for the return address on the crumbly box. The part numbers I mentioned are not on it anywhere. Otherwise 'made in China' is obvious everywhere. I just hope it runs.

All I need is for it to WORK. I don't care if it looks like it was dipped in shiznit. The Amazon reviews were that this was the best of the pick so we shall see.
