[BlindHandyMan] TSP?
Hi, I've been told that I can take the soot off my walls ceiling with TSP? What is this, and how does it work? Thanks.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] TSP?
Tri sodium phosphate. It is a type of high powered soap if you want to call it that. You can find it in the paint area at most big box stores. As for whether it will work on your project, you'll have to give it a try. It is a great cleaner and it doesn't smell like most. And you're not out a bundle of money if it doesn't do what you want. Make sure to ask the sales person about mixing. It comes in a powder and you use X number of tablespoons to so much water. If you over mix it isn't going to take the paint off but it's helpful to have a starting point. - Original Message - From: Claudia To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 7:01 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] TSP?

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Palm Nailers
Thanks for that information you guys. I'll have to go back to Harbor Freight and have my wife look in the box again and see if there are any adaptors in there. She said she doesn't think there are any. She also looked at the operation instructions and they were very vague and they didn't mention anything like that..

RE: [BlindHandyMan] TSP?
TSP is also great for removing the residual paste left on the walls after you remove wall paper. I have a friend who owns a window cleaning service and he uses it for all his window cleaning. I believe he uses one or two tablespoons per gallon of water. I'm sure there many other cleaning uses for TSP and I would think removing soot would be one of them.

Claudia, Mine came with a little scoop. It said 1 scoop per gallon of water. If it isn't strong enough, you can add more. It's great for removing grease as well.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] house water pump relay
Until a couple years ago WD40 used propane as its propellant. that has supposedly changed to something non flamable. However you're correct, I saw guys spray older versions into the air intakes of recalcitrant outboards, if they then started, you knew you had a fuel flow problem. If not, the problem was probably electrical. As long a spray onto non live systems, the propellant would evaporate pretty fast.
