So basically Brock is just a big old sissy. Got it.
No but seriously OA is super mild for how well it works. I’ve gone as far as two cups per gallon of mix and although not a pleasant smell it definitely wasn’t “toxic”. It does kind of tingle when it gets on your skin.
I’ll try again, maybe it was a fluke.
Trust me, this wasn’t an allergy situation. It was worse than opening a fresh bottle of ammonia.
Lol why are you opening bottles of ammonia? You cooking up that Walter White stuff?
I have to use it for window cleaning when the customers have cigarette residue on the windows.
That’s a perfectly good reason to use ammonia. It cuts through nicotine 
Interesting. Good to know!
Or, you’re cooking up something for a little side income.
Probably just cleaning windows…probably
Yeah, I was thinking of throwing out an Air Force joke earlier in the thread but try and limit myself to one per week.
I have no dog in that fight. I’m just proud of all those who have served and are serving. Y’all the real MVP.
It’s a military thing. All we do is try and rip on each other. It’s never out of disrespect. Garry just made a crayon joke to me earlier…lol. It takes all branches to win a war. Some branches just have it more comfortable and safer than others. 
Safe just didn’t sound like fun when I was joining. I’d rather camp out and go hunting rather than sleeping in a comfy bed and playing on computers…lol
God, I am so thankful my nephew isn’t like you lol
He’s in some cyber security program with the Army right now. Comfy bed and computers is just fine by me.
Bucket had to of had a residue to fume. Oxalic is extremely mild.
So mild that @Hotshot drinks a glass with breakfast and one before bed. For his health, ya know.
Any chance it would react with a trace of Dawn? That’s all it could possibly be.
Why does OA sometimes work very good, sometimes it does nothing on similar stain and same substrate?
Here i have a situation i would appreciate help with.
A while ago i washed a small home, months later customer called to say she noticed rust stain had formed from underneath soffit in the back.
I have spent so many hours and tried so many products to try to get this off.
Oxalic and many other chems or products have only slightly lightened it. This is the fifth time i come here to try to fix this. It is very costly in time so i’m at the point where i’m considering hiring someone to replace the stained vinyl.
Helpful tips please.
@PMG, OneRestore or F9 Barc. If neither of those will touch it, then you’re probably looking at replacement.
Well i’ve finalllllly found today a Canadian distributor for those products that no one seemed to ship here so i’m eager to try them out.
Basically bought 1 of everything.
That is weeping out from behind the siding likely from the soffit, you can treat the runoff until your blue in the face but it is just going to keep coming back until the metal is treated. Who knows what is up there without removing the soffit and taking a peek. I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me it was a rusting screwdriver or maybe a utility knife.
I’ve breathed it in and it scared me. It’s bad on the lungs and it does sting skin pretty good too. Maybe @dcbrock and I are the only 2 on this post that have breathed it in before…
Nope, I was mixing up several 5 gallon jugs to send out for a big job in the spring, and the dust had the lungs burning pretty good. Not a fan of it in solid form at all after that…
havent had a prob with OA, but sod hydrox makes my skin feel like when your frying bacon and grease pops you.
