I think thin water was simply asking if you could post the sdsI also sell Acetone, Mineral spirts, paint thinner, Turpentine, MEK, etc. The difference?? All allowable. Not sure I understand your point?

Exactly. Without an SDS we don't know what chemicals we are using or what the hazards are.I think thin water was simply asking if you could post the sds
All understood, however, lots of us don't want to pay $15 or more for a $3 product. Unless this company invented some 'magic dust', it's a fair question to identify what the formulation is as the basic compounds aren't proprietary and can likely be bought cheaper or at more convenient locations.If all you guys are so concerned about this product, then don't use it! If you want additional info on it, I would contact the manufacturer...I posted their link at the beginning of the thread. This thread has gotten out of hand........I was just sharing a product that I have used for several years, that I have used on my own Power cords and fenders. It makes short work of of cleaning them and believe it or not I'm still alive.
Read the freakin label, wear gloves, wear goggles... which you shoud be doing anyway. The shape of the can and being metal was a tipoff to me to be cautious.Exactly. Without an SDS we don't know what chemicals we are using or what the hazards are.
Frankly, that is a sloppy answer. Proper labeling is a matter of telling the truth.Read the freakin label, wear gloves, wear goggles... which you shoud be doing anyway. The shape of the can and being metal was a tipoff to me to be cautious.
That's helpful. It is essentially a methanol, toluene and acetone mix in an unspecified ratio. No wonder it works in the short term, however, as none of these are good for prolonged use as they will quickly degrade the plasticizers.I ordered a can of Restoration Technology Marine Strip and received it today. Intended use is to clean the gooey material oozing off the tops of my older Taylor Made fenders , as the goo rubs off on the hull where the fender hangs. It cleans off the gel coat easily enough with a little acetone, but nothing so far has cleaned the fenders.
A call to the manufacturer's help line resolved a question on some of the label instructions and they also emailed me the MSDS (interestingly enough as an editable MS Word file). I attached a PDF of that file. I'm not an expert at reading MSDS but I'll certainly wear gloves, apply with a brush or rag and will be using outdoors to minimize inhalation of the vapors.
I'll report back on how the product works in a few weeks.
It's $7 here in the big box stores but lots of people have some sitting in their garage already. No shipping. Methanol and toluene are even cheaper.1 quart can was $20.
The MSDS says 1-100% dichloromethane (AKA methylene chloride). As a lazy flame is reported, I suspect it is a high percentage, since the other ingredients burn like lightening). So read the hazards for MC:That's helpful. It is essentially a methanol, toluene and acetone mix in an unspecified ratio.

The hazards of each are widely reported.
Its effect on the black spots left behind by spiders on non-skid is pretty awesome (pardon the pun). Haven't tried it on power cords or other rubber products.Anyone ever try LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner Degreaser? It does a pretty good job on fenders, seems to be quite benign, and is cheap. Hokey name but it works.
Since this is a really tough crowd, I'll post the MSDS up front
