Hi Guys,

Have just removed an oil stain for one of our clients. But there is still a shadow, used Hot Box and 4 of our different chemicals.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Alan

I spoke to Tensid about some removal on block or concrete about twelve months ago and if I remember right they have poultices that you can leave on for up to 24 hours. Roger might know more on this one.

What have you tried ? Acetone, clean then cover with fullers earth when dry, The fullers Earth will wick out any oil near the surface but it needs to be dry weather

[Alan McTernan]

Carl is that as in Fullers Earth powder that they sell in health shops?

So far i have used hot box and oil removers/degreasers (not sure exactly) what a bad man i am :

I don't know about the health shops. I get mine from Liberon (New Romney) but Brewer's sell it.

Cheers Carl. Visit to Brewers it is then

Hi Carl,

Couldn't find Fullers Earth anywhere (they haven't stocked it for years) so gave Thompson Oil Stain remover a go as was all i could get!!! And it worked a treat the only thing is it is an expenive way to do things, but hey it worked

Cheers

Brewers have to order fullers earth in. Get some acetone and comma solvant degreaser then you'll get most oil stains out except the really stubborn synthetic ones

Fleetclean from Spillaway , is all I use now , it can be safely flushed down the drain ,and  is very effective.
