Went to buy some 90% Isopropyl Alcohol (Surgical spirits) to start a restoration/repair of a few gunstocks only to find-out the Corona Virus has driven the folks here into a panic buying frenzy.
Guess I'll mix what I have left with some Vodka or Moonshine. LOL
At least you can still get toilet paper; some places can't. Try grain alcohol (Everclear); its' what the folks who want to sterilize themselves should have bought! :rolleyes:
It's happening all over the world, don't worry.
We are full of "differently brave" people everywhere.
All the man-size tissues had gone today from the outlet where I normally get them. I like the luxury of a full-man-size tissue and I don't wish to have to make do with a standard (small) sized tissue instead.
:lol::lol::lol:
Oddly enough I can relate...……….Quote:

Or just buy a bag of terrycloth rags and when used run them through the washing machine with a good dose of bleach.
Much ado.
Well this could be a new use for spend steel, berdan primed cartridge cases. Scrape to scrapQuote:

I'd rob a Nun at knife point for cash before I resorted to "Family cloths". :lol:
Mentally ill comes to mind before the word cheapskates to describe this pair, poor kids.
It's washing the other laundry aspect that I find particularly unappealing.
I suppose people could invest in a second washing machine specifically for the "family cloths" ONLY.
"...restoration/repair of a few gun stocks..." Mineral spirits will do that. TP is on sale here.
Yes it will, it is also toxic, not water-soluble, and will leave an oily residue. The 91 or higher percent isopropyl has an advantage in that it will force you to work a small area at a time, removes even deep oil from the wood, dries rapidly, leaves no residue, and will raise the grain so it can be knocked off even prior to steaming. It works fantastic with bronze wool making it easy to wash out between cleanings. I've been experimenting with Orange Turpentine (Citric terpene) as a cleaning solvent and while it does okay, I found it better when used as a cleaning mixed with 40% Orange Turpentine / 60% Polymerize Raw Linseed Oil.Quote:

When us English are facing a "grave situation" we will often try to make a joke out of it.Quote:

Newsom commutes prison sentences, including for murder
this merely proves California has been growing nuts since day one. Read that list of "safe to release inmates". All responsible for the murder of at least one person. In some cases killing multiple people. In 3 cases, for killing children. 1 killed her 3 children in a house fire.
He'll need to follow the example of Billary's ex-campaign manager Governor who was on his way to pardoning 60,000 felons in WV(?) so they could vote Dumocrat. I believe he got carpal tunnel syndrome or time ran out?
you don't get it, he released what he called low risk inmates.. and I don't think a woman that burned her children in a house fire is low risk.... unless your over the age of what 21?Quote:
