moonseeker Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Looking to buy Methanol to clean some painted handlebars, which are terribly soiled by softened and gluey rubber seals. very sticky stuff, and need to clean without damaging hard plastic pieces and painted metal bars. Any other idea? Maybe Turpentine? Thanks. MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonseeker Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Just reading that Isopropyl is less aggressive and might do the job? Anywhere? MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugocnx Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Wouldn't ethyl alcohol do the trick? LPSOFF available at drug stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonseeker Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Done it, with lots of elbow grease & SUNLOTION, which I remembered is excellent to clean of oil/dirt on the beach....acts as solvent without damaging most other materials. THX. all...MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 FYI, i buy methanol in BKK at ordinary paint shops where they sell methanol, mineral spirits and lacquer thinner. Can't imagine paint stores throughout Thailand would be different. I mean, the shops all look identical... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
