She is pretty much wash and wear. No issues usually. And she is almost 11 years old now. And that was the view from the raised walkway at one of the metroparks in my town. She was a complete turd at the park, BTW. Jerked my arm a couple times! Reading her dang peemail.

This is what I am swapping to away from vinegar.

 

[Victoria M]

Cool! Obviously, me too.

I tried this too! Also using lactic acid which I found from a wine-making place. Not sure which works better, but I am using both as opposed to vinegar. Thanks for sharing!

I tried that and found it to not work nearly as well. I've gone back to vinegar for now.

I have read you gotta soak it longer. I worry we will find out it does the same thing.

I was pleased with how well it removed coralline and mineral deposits. I didn't feel it did much at all to remove the soft biological goo. My experience was that vinegar did better at that in 2 hours than citric acid did in 24 hours. I probably should have mentioned that in my build thread. ;Facepalm

Don't despair...I will cover it in mine. ;Troll What do you think perioxide would do for the goo?

get expensive quick!
But it would probably work very well if not diluted. I'd have to test it.

I think I will test it if I notice my MP40 still being snotty.

I made a paint booth in the basement. I will never do it again. Too much smell, too much fog in the air.

 

[Victoria M]

And a before shot. Before I painted and before I closed off the paint booth.

 

[DS204]

Wow that's a huge sump! I'm a little late to the party so might be missing what size system that's for - but looks super nice! I did see you dabbling in some acrylic work recently. Is that sump your handywork? : )
