Don't clean your engine block with gasket stripper and a powered scrubber while wearing shorts. You only need a tiny little drop on your leg to have to scamper very rapidly out on deck to stick your leg in the water.

Ask me how I know..

When flushing the coolant system with this product, I was impressed with its degreasing properties, so I let it slosh around the bilge & was not disappointed.


It's alkaline so I guess a strong batch of tricleanium would have the same effect. But I wouldn't suggest flicking it around in ya budgie smugglers

Don't want to thread drift but also don't mix epoxy resin and hardener and add lightweight filler - so as to make an easy sanding epoxy fairing filler - when in shorts and in the cockpit. I did this a fair while back and there wasn't much breeze but the filler got onto my legs and caused an itchy rash for around a week - plurry stupid on my behalf. I rang the resin company for a cure and forget what it was maybe a lot of fresh water flushing - best to avoid it in the first place obviously.
