Tanya, thank you so much for holding 18 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: How can I help? 19 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: I have a one hundred year old suitor and the 20 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: all of the inside beautiful woodwork has been painted like 21 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: four or five times and I want to get it 22 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: back to its original the beautiful would. 23 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: This underneath it? 24 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: How can I strip the baseboards and all the moldings 25 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: while they're still on? 26 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: We're probably gonna have to take them off, would be 27 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 1: my guess. That's gonna be my guess. You can play 28 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: with it and see which is gonna work. The first 29 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: thing you're gonna have to do, Tanya, is to you 30 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: know how I was talking to Amber about the different 31 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: types of strippers and the test kit that dumm Global has. 32 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: I would definitely invest the ten to fifteen bucks and 33 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: do that and test them. They've got four basic kinds 34 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: and it comes in just a little packet and a 35 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: little tube of the different type of strippers and you 36 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: put a little laminate cloth on and just see how 37 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: how it reacts. Because there's organic paints, non or granny paints, 38 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: lead based paints, there's different kinds of paints that were 39 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: used over different periods of time. The one that takes 40 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: up most of it is the smart Strip Advanced, and 41 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: you know, I really think so the process you would 42 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: do is you'd put a thick coat of the paint 43 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: stripper on there, then you would put a lambina cloth 44 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: over it and you let it just sit overnight and 45 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: then you kind of pull it off and it will 46 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: pull the paint right off with it. So I don't 47 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: know if you can do it when it's on. I'm 48 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: going to say most people are going to take it off, 49 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: but I'd give it a try. I'm like you, you know, 50 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: the crowd moldings you're probably gonna have to take off, 51 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: but baseboards, maybe you can get by with it. I 52 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: don't know, give it a whirl. 53 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: And all the doors and the opening, the the would 54 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: work around the doors and everything. 55 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so the doors, certainly take those off. Then 56 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: you got, you know, some sawhorses, a nice flat surface. 57 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: I think i'd also want to know, you know, I'm 58 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: sure reusing the wood's going to be the least expensive way. 59 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: Put a lot more time, a lot more time and trouble. 60 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: But if you can do it where you'd work on 61 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: a room at a time and you're a patient person, 62 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: you can probably get it done. But I think taking 63 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: it off is going to be your best case scenario. Definitely, 64 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: take off the doors. I wouldn't mess with those. Those 65 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: are easy to take off. The moldings. If you want 66 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: to try the jams, that might be a good place 67 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: to start. You might be able to do it on 68 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: the jams, you might be able to do it on 69 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: the baseboards. A lot also depends on, you know, those 70 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: older moldings. They could get a little ornate. Also. 71 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: That's why I can't. 72 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know today's baseboards you get in there, you know, 73 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean they're flat with a little bevel at the 74 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: top and that's that. And you know you might be 75 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: able to use it, you know, while it's actually nailed on, 76 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 1: but I think you're going to take most of it off. 77 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 2: Okay, I will even to try that peel away. 78 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: So that's one of the four. That's one of the four. 79 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: So that's why I said, get that little test hit. 80 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: The website is Dumont Global dot com. It's do you 81 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: m O n D Global dot com. You can get 82 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: to test hit there. You can also read about the 83 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: four strippers that they have. The peel away is pretty 84 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: much for lead based paints, which you probably got some 85 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: of that too. But give the test, you know, and 86 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: see what you got. That's that's that's why they have 87 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: the test kit. 88 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: Thank you so much. 89 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: All right, good luck don you. We'll look for that 90 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: full report, you bet. Take care. Yes, So the smart 91 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: Strip Advance, like if you're listening to me right now, 92 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: and some but they had a they bought a dresser 93 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: at a uh you know, garage sale or something, and 94 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: you painted it six years ago. I can almost bet 95 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: you hot for Sunday. The Smart Strip Advance. We'll take 96 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: that off, easy pasy. But I hear this rumbling from 97 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: people occasionally these new environmental strippers, they don't work. Well, 98 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: they do work, but you got to have the right 99 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: type of stripper. It's not like the old days. Different 100 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: and and Dumont makes these different types to I mean, 101 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: they their their stripper. They used on the on the 102 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: Capitol Building, they used it on the Hollywood side, and 103 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: they used it on the Eiffel Tower. So they work. 104 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: You just got to be using the right one based 105 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: on the type of paint in that era that you're 106 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: trying to remove. Most other companies will make just one 107 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: type of remover and sometimes they don't work because it's 108 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: not designed to remove that type of paint. So again, 109 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: as Dumont Global dot Com, I can remember I had 110 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: them on the show thirty years ago when they were 111 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: just getting into it's probably been yeah, it's probably been 112 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: thirty years at least, And they were introducing these environmentally 113 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: friendly strippers, and like I said, they'd used them in 114 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: cathedrals in Europe, and they have the potential. The peel 115 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: a way of removing up to like thirty five coats, 116 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: I think, is what it said at a time one time, 117 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: so as it would it would actually penetrate down through 118 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: the layers. It would bubble that coating up just like 119 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: any other paint striper wood and remove it. So give it. 120 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: Check that out, Check that out? All right? Let me 121 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: give you the phone number. You can grab a line. 122 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: As we talk about our homes. It's eight hundred eight 123 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: two three eight two five five. We're talking about snow 124 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: melts in spring rains. I want to get your nose 125 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: work out here. Danny asked where my home humidity level 126 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: was sea. I got him paranoid. Now, yes you do, 127 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: thank you. And the reason I I it's very dry 128 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, you're reading about all the fires 129 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: in Florida. I just looked at a map in Florida. 130 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: It looks it's not the whole state on fire, but 131 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of red dots and very very 132 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: dry throughout the country. In most areas west and very south, 133 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: and then very wet in the northeast, in the midwest 134 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: from the snow. And when you get spring rains and 135 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: all this melt and you get water intrusion and you 136 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 1: get orgaining material. Right, you're gonna get mold. Talking to 137 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: a mold specialist yesterday at the Home and Garden Show 138 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: and you're talking about three hundred different species of molds. 139 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: Now get your nose working. If it smells musty the air, 140 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: and it smells moldy, maybe in the basement it is. 141 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: It's mold. It's either on the back of the drywall, 142 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: it's on cardboard boxes, it's on the backside of a carpet. 143 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: There's mold. And we can talk about that. But it's 144 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: a you gotta do a little, I don't know, little 145 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: little investigation. You got to find out what that source is. 146 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: Because we can, we can conquer the problem, but we 147 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: got to find the source. That's always the issue, all 148 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: right again, Our phone numbers eight hundred and eight two three, eight, 149 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: two five five.

I've been listening to your show for years, 204 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 5: and thank you. Just really enjoy catch you in the mornings, 205 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 5: and you are talking about a subject that I'm pretty 206 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 5: familiar with. It's ice dams, and I wanted to see 207 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 5: if you're familiar. 208 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 6: With the. 209 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 5: Rents that they're putting on properties. I want to see 210 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 5: if it's anywhere other than Colorado, which is a basically 211 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 5: a tax or a feed that a municipality can assess 212 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 5: to property owners if they decide to use an electrified 213 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 5: snow melting system. 214 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: First, I've heard of it, Roger, to be honest with you, 215 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: So tell me about educate me. 216 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you see it in some municipalities in Colorado 217 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 5: in particular, that's where I'm I live. And it's a 218 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 5: renewable energy tax, and so it gives a property owner 219 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 5: the option to either you know, remove their snow melt 220 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 5: systems or or pay a yearly finer tax. And what 221 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 5: they're trying to do is getting carbon offset, and they're 222 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 5: looking at inner usage and they're going after you know, 223 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 5: high energy users and and the snow and ice melt 224 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 5: systems are a huge component of architecture. I happen to 225 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 5: be a subject matter expert on this issue. And so, 226 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 5: you know, just to talk about a little bit what 227 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 5: you were talking about before we got on is on 228 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 5: on these roofs, we talk about ice making zones. And 229 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 5: you know, people get perplexed and why do I have 230 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 5: ice over here and no ice over there? Why do 231 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 5: I have it this year? And I didn't have it 232 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 5: the last couple of years. And it has to do 233 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 5: with for sure, ambient temperature, for sure, insulation and and 234 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 5: you know ice making zones. And if there's a steady 235 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 5: supply of. 236 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 7: Ice and. 237 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 5: Or water water into a freezing situation, it can it's 238 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 5: it's gonna make ice. But there is a there is 239 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 5: an option out there other than electrified heating, heat and 240 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 5: coil systems, and it's called flow. There's there's a website. 241 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 5: I would love for you to check this out, Gary 242 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 5: and get your take on it. But it's uh. It 243 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 5: basically avoids that that energy suck and replaces it with 244 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 5: It's an above roof sprinkler system that sprays the same 245 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 5: solution that they use to de ice airplanes. It's uh, 246 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 5: it's called potassium athotate. And and what what's different about 247 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 5: that is it keeps the snow and ice fluid until 248 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 5: it hits dirt. And and that's different than other systems 249 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 5: because other systems, and this is what perplexes a lot 250 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 5: of people, is they'll install an ice melt system and 251 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 5: it'll take care of the area that they want to address, 252 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 5: But now they've created another issue because that's that water 253 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 5: goes to another zone, and once it gets out of 254 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 5: that heated zone, it'll refreeze, right. 255 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: So yeah, the cables are basically designed just to warm 256 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: that overhang, right. So yeah, I'm I know, I'm very 257 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: familiar with those. I just how much do those gutter 258 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: cables consume in electricity? I mean I look at a 259 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: house and that would be you know, as as a 260 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: novice in this discussion, I would look and say, it's 261 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: obviously consuming energy, but that wouldn't be my biggest concern 262 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: in my house. And I may be wrong. I'm just curious, 263 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: you know. 264 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 5: It's it's you've got to think about it at scale 265 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 5: and and so you know, a fifteen square foot house 266 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 5: is going to have minimal gutter pace, and so that's 267 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 5: not really what we're talking about, or we're talking about 268 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 5: maybe larger properties where you have a lot of northern exposure. 269 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 5: That's really kind of the key where we find gigantic 270 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 5: ice build up is that's that's one of the first 271 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 5: keys is you're not going to have ice dams on 272 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 5: a southern exposure. 273 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 7: Right. 274 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 5: But to answer your question, you know that the energy 275 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 5: usage in UH. I look at these high mountain areas 276 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 5: because it's it's the same until youre ride asp and steamboat. 277 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 5: They're they're you know, they're all kind of similar, and 278 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 5: you know they're trying to go to the zero carbon 279 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 5: foot prep. 280 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: Yep, Hey, I'm gonna check that out.

Yes, And removing removing paint on molding 336 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 7: in place when they first came out with the product 337 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 7: back when you spoke of it years and years ago. 338 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 7: We use We used it in our living room. We 339 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 7: live in a hundred year old cape cod here, had 340 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 7: numerous coats of paint and we did it, stripped it 341 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 7: in place, did not remove it. I have removed it 342 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 7: on other rehab jobs prior to that, and it's a 343 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 7: real pain. But we used it in place. You have 344 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 7: to be very careful with it, naturally for the surface 345 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 7: walls because it will take the paint off of those two. 346 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 7: But it did a miraculous job. It is it is. 347 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 7: It is really a wonderful products. That was my one 348 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 7: and only time using that product. But it worked great. 349 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's a phenomenal product, it really is. And 350 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: I you know, I can kind of see the base boards. 351 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: I kind of got the door frames, you know, the 352 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: doors that pop off. Did you have any oh, Gosha, 353 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: other moldings maybe that looking back, you'd say, yeah, I 354 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: would remove them. I mean some that were more intricate or. 355 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, it's integrate molding. We did the entire crown 356 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 7: molding around the entire living room and the window frames, yeah, 357 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 7: and and everything else. And going back to the other 358 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 7: buildings I have done in the past, had had that 359 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 7: been available at that time. It sure beats tearing all 360 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 7: that molding off and then yeah, taking it in and having 361 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 7: it done and then having to remount it. 362 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: And well, I was really I'm glad you called to 363 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: I was really I think at the end I was 364 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: kind of like like I'd play with it, see because 365 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm like you, I'm all about doing it in place 366 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: if I can do that, because getting just think trying 367 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: to get one hundred year old molding off the wall 368 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: to begin with, It's nailed into something that's also one 369 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: hundred years old, so it's gonna be tougher. Yeah, it's 370 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: gonna be tough even removing it obviously, if we can 371 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: do it in place, yeah, yeah, you're not going to 372 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: replace it. So well, it's good to hear that it 373 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: can be done, that's for sure. 374 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 7: The The only caution is, uh, you know, you're keep 375 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 7: keep in mind your your your surface walls and the 376 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 7: paint covering that's on them, because it takes that off 377 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 7: as well as what it takes. 378 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: Off the Yeah, but you know what, and just playing 379 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: Devil's advocate if it got on the walls and you 380 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: had to repaint the walls. 381 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. The worst worst case scenario is and you 382 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 7: probably need to paint anyway. Yeah, but you just go 383 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 7: in on the edge, you do a little touch up 384 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 7: and repaint. 385 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 386 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 7: Everything else it worked. It worked wonderfully. 387 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: That's great to hear. 388 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 7: It really is a wonderful product. 389 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great to hear. You know, it's also interesting 390 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: these different products that they have now because of the 391 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: different codings and the research they did. You know, if 392 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: that wall isn't a lead based paint or something along 393 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: those lines, it may not take off that paint. 394 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 7: That could well be. I have only used the peel 395 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 7: Away and basically back in the day that was the 396 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 7: only one they had, right I was aware. 397 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, it's probably I'm going to guess twenty 398 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: years and they start having these other ones, and you know, 399 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: after meeting with them a few times recently, you know 400 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: they're they're almost people are aware of the peel Away product, 401 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: and you know what they are trying to do is 402 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: there there are other products, and one of them is 403 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: the smart Strip Advance that takes care of like eighty 404 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: five percent of the coatings, but it won't touch lead 405 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: based paint and lead based paint. The peel away won't 406 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: touch an acrylic paint, so right, you know you might 407 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: be able to be not perfect. 408 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I give it. I give it 409 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 7: one hundred percent, you know, just you know, like you say, 410 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 7: use caution when you do it. But for stripping in place, 411 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 7: it sure beats the other alternative having to tear it 412 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 7: all out because I've done that. 413 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: Well, that's a tough job. That's I wasn't answer. 414 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 7: And I stripped here was fur as well, so it 415 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 7: was a soft wood you weren't you weren't working with 416 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 7: oak or something like that, you know, and and and 417 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 7: that that makes a big difference does and it it 418 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 7: came through beautifully. 419 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: It looks great, excellent Bill.

Let's go to Jack. Jack welcome, No 427 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: man here, Hey Jack, yeah Jack, yeah, hello, yes. 428 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a question. My son purchased the home. 429 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 3: It's got all the aluminum siding and the people had 430 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: way too much molt and he removed the moat, but 431 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: there's these black dots and he was told it was 432 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 3: like mold or something growing on the side of the house. 433 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: It's fun. 434 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 3: He's tried removing it al fungus, and he's tried to 435 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: be moving it. He used an electric power washer and 436 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 3: he scrubbed it. Nothing's taken it off. And I just 437 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 3: caught the tail into what you were saying before about 438 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: using purple power or a white white wall. 439 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. Product, I'll tell you what he's got has called 440 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: artillery fungus. And I'll be honest, Jack, We've talked about 441 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: this probably for twenty five years, and I've never heard 442 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: from anyone with a solution that'll actually take care of it. 443 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: I've actually had it on my house. You can take 444 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: care of it off the glass with a razor blade, 445 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: which isn't going to do you too much good on 446 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: aluminum sighting. But I've had it on vinyl shutters, and 447 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: I've researched, I have asked questions, and I've never found 448 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: anything that really removes it. And if it does get removed, 449 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: even on the glass. And this is a fact. I 450 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: had it. I sent on shutters. I also had it 451 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 1: on some panes of glass, and with a razor blade 452 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: it'll leave like a little amber dot. Even after you're 453 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: removing with a razor blade, it will eventually fade away. 454 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: But it's an artillery fungus. And what it is, it's 455 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: the the spores in the as mulch breaks down, because 456 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: everything in Mother Nature breaks down either through molds or 457 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: funguses and everything, and those spores artillery. It can shoot 458 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: up to thirty feet in the air to grow to live. 459 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: The fungus is alive and it's got a hard shell 460 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,719 Speaker 1: on it. And but I don't I don't have a 461 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: solution for you. The only solution I have and I'm 462 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: just you know, he's probably not going to do this. 463 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: But the only solution I have is literally to sand 464 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: that off, prime that siding and paint it. 465 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 3: Uh huh, All right, Well I'll pass it on to 466 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 3: them and let them know. 467 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and what and for everybody else's thing, you know, concerns, 468 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: it's it's hardwood mulch and it's usually the less expensive 469 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: hardwood mulch where manure is added to it, which makes 470 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: that mulch break down even faster. You don't have the 471 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: problems with Cyprus, don't really have it as far as 472 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: I know, with big chunks of like bark where it's 473 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: on the bark part of the of the mulch. But 474 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, we use so much mulch now it's you know, 475 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: they grind up wood, skids and everything else. They put 476 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: manure in it. You can smell it in the springtime 477 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: and that just creates that breaking down out the mulch 478 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: and and and that's where you get through artillery fungus. 479 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, I give him a you know, a little 480 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: education on it, but not much you're going to do 481 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 1: about that outside of literally sanded down and paint the sighting. 482 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, like I said, he bought the house from 483 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 3: an estate and it was piles and piles of old molts. 484 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he did remove the fall. Yeah, good, good, good, 485 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: that's a start. That's a start. Thanks much for the call. 486 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. And uh again, somebody may have something. 487 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: And I say this every time I discussed this, but 488 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: as far as I know and all the people I've 489 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: talked to, no quick answer, there, no answer at all. 490 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: There on final sighting metal sighting.

They have white wall cleaner. The particular one 537 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 1: they have is called black Magic, and I vaguely remember 538 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: somebody let me know that they had changed the name 539 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: on this one that I'm looking at on the Amazon account. 540 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: It's a black magic bleach white tire cleaner. Then in 541 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: the kind of discussion about it, the name Wesley's is mentioned, 542 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: and so thirty two ounce white ball cleaner. And that 543 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: is what I used years ago on aluminum gutters to 544 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: get that blackish film off. Not created from mulch. I 545 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: don't want to confuse you, but it is also a 546 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a fungus from what I understand, and 547 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the other fungus and mold cleaners they 548 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 1: don't touch it. It too, is kind of its own 549 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: special little thing. All right. Let me give you the 550 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 1: phone number you can join us. It's eight hundred and 551 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 1: eight two three eight two five five. Let's go to Mike. Mike. Welcome, 552 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: Hey Moven sir, how are you doing fine? Thank you? 553 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 6: That was one of you have any knowledge on this 554 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 6: rapid set, this new creek. You know, you make sure 555 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 6: the concrete's cleaned off good, and then mix the mix 556 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 6: the powder up and then you squeeze it on. 557 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's a whole different there's multiple products out 558 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: there that do just that. And and originally they were 559 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: created probably twenty five years ago, and they have got 560 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: to a point now where they really work. Okay, the 561 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: original ones they weren't, but they weren't. It wasn't a 562 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: long term solution. So the one and there's different content too. So, uh, 563 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: there's the powder you mix, and then there's some that 564 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: is even trialed on now, which I think is a polyurhea. 565 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: So tell me the one that you're speaking of. Is 566 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: it a powder that you mix with water? 567 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 3: Correct? 568 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 6: It's made by a rapid set. It's called new crete, right, 569 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 6: And it's a you just mix it up and then 570 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 6: like a pancake consistency and then squeeze it on. I 571 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 6: just didn't know. If you know, I don't want to 572 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 6: put it down and then you know two years later, 573 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 6: I'm you know, back at it again. 574 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it'll last longer in two years. The only 575 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: ones I would probably not recommend would be some of 576 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: these finishes that are pre mixed sementatious products. I know 577 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: there on the rapid set on the quick crete resurfacer, 578 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: and like I said, there's multiple brands out there now. Yeah, 579 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,439 Speaker 1: follow the directions in cleaning it and etching that concrete. 580 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: Whenever you're doing a surface coating, there's two things to 581 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: make that concrete last or to bite into that concrete. 582 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: The first thing is the processy of the concrete. So 583 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: some will require a an acid wash, some will just 584 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: require a high detergent cleaner. But follow the directions of 585 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: the one you get because it's very important that there's 586 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: a good bite onto that concrete. As far as why 587 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: you couldn't just get a bag of like sand mix 588 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: and mix it with water, I mean, that's concrete, right, 589 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: why can't we just do that? Well, you can't because 590 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: concrete does not like to bond a concrete. So these 591 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 1: resurfacing products that are coming, they've created a bonding agent 592 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: that is in that powder, and when you mix it 593 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: with water, there is a bonding agent and the cementatious 594 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: product that allows for it to stick to the concrete. 595 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, is it gonna last you thirty years? No? 596 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 1: You know, no, I'll tell you the rule of thumb. 597 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: I used it on my son's walkways twenty five years ago. 598 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: We both were putting it down and he got about 599 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: five six years out of it. The new stuff probably 600 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: fifteen years. 601 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 6: Oh okay, So that guy that happens that mold on 602 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 6: that side and he needs to try a magic eraser. 603 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I'll try it. What kind 604 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: of focus I'm talking about? Are you familiar with that 605 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: artillery fungus that I was speaking of? 606 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 7: Yeah? 607 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 6: I had it on the hood of my car, and actually, okay, 608 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 6: when I took it to the body shop, they actually 609 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 6: used wind decks and took it off. But the guy, 610 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 6: he said, if we had a magic eraser, he said, 611 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 6: we would have We would have used that or peroxide. 612 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 6: And he also said a dryer seat works. He sat 613 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 6: to rate a dryer seat and anti static can remove 614 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 6: that stuff. I don't know. 615 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to sit and argue with you 616 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: at all, because I've tried probably thirty different products, and 617 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, if there's something out there, man, I'd like 618 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: to tell the world about it. So I'll try it. 619 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,439 Speaker 1: I'm sure I still if I walk around the house, 620 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: I'll find some places. I always had luck getting it 621 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: off of. And I've heard that the car finishes because 622 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: people have called me and said they've had it on windshields. 623 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: The only thing I took it off was a razor blade, 624 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: but they said it was easy to remove from car 625 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: finishes and I don't get that either. But hey, listen, 626 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try the magic eraser. I've used that on 627 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: many other things. Always had good success with it. So 628 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: who knows who would think white wall cleaner would get 629 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: rid of the film fungus on gutters? 630 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 6: Right, exactly the last thing you would think of. 631 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, So thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. 632 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 3: All right. 633 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: So have a good name, all right, You do the same. 634 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: If anybody's used that, you know, that's always the best 635 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: proof that something works, and I've tried to live by 636 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: that in all the years of doing this show. If 637 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: multiple people, and I think that's how I came up 638 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: with the white tire cleaner for the aluminum gutters. It 639 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: wasn't something that I just thought, oh, this will work. 640 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: It was probably somebody on this show had recommended it, 641 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: and I try to buy golly it works. Is it 642 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: easy to use? No, you got to use a little 643 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: elbow grease. But if you've used magic eraser to remove 644 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 1: a shotgun fungus off of sighting they had metal sighting, 645 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: let me know. But I'll tell you this too. The 646 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: aluminum sighting. I learned this one. I was a very 647 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 1: very young man. I was going to paint the aluminum sighting. 648 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: I had to remove the chalk off the siding to 649 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: get the paint to stick at hear properly. And I've 650 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: told this story many times. But as I used tri 651 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: sodium phosphate and wash that sighting down to remove the 652 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 1: chalking that was on the sighting, I removed not only 653 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: the chalking, but I removed a lot of the paint 654 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: and that was okay. I was going to paint it. 655 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to paint a good bondable surface.
