Right,
If you are using this mental chemical please wear eye protection!
I was stripping the laquer off my last wheel today and ended up doing Michael Flatley's Riverdance around my driveway for a solid 15 minutes!
My GOD, the agony was unbelievable!
At one point I was actually afraid to open my eye because I firmly believed that it had melted and was running down my cheek!
The neighbours ran out thinking that I had been shot because I was writhing around in agony and whimpering like a puppy!
Anyhow, being cocky I thought "I don't need goggles today because I am now a professional wheel stripper as I have done 4 without incident, boy was I WRONG"!
I little "flick" in the wrong direction with a 1/2 inch paintbrush and AAAAAARRRRGH!
After the inital shock and rolling around I ran into the house and plunged my head into a sink full of cold water, thank God the pain slowly started to ease!
It is now 4 hours later and my eye looks ok apart from now being Ferrari Red but it is still throbbing like a Spitfire's engine!
So, be warned!
WEAR EYE PROTECTION!
Later!
