Am I an idiot for buying this?

[ruff]

umm, Willy, we're s'posed to be a professionals
That means we're s'posed to be knowledgeable and responsible with the chems used and take precautions with such

if you poured it on the rust, and worked it in with your fingers..
or spilled some on your fingers without immediately washing it off..
I'm sorry part'ner , the directions for use and cautions are clearly printed on the label.
it's not the chem's fault for not being IDIOT proof .

Mix any bleach and ammonia much??


..L.T.A.

That's Larry logic alright-

 

[Willy P]

Well Larry I did wash my fingers right away and it still got me. I have no idea why anybody would use that shit when there's equally effective and much safer alternatives available. I remember talking with Gary Heacock about this and his comment was you can use lemon juice to take out rust.

 

[Willy P]

kicks azz
that IS your daddy's rust remover
it ain't kid stuff

careful with it around patio sliders ...it WILL etch glass as Jim mentioned
ask me how eye-no

don't forget to rinse well

.L.T.A.

Um you forgot the neutralizing part. You know- putting ammonia on it..

 

[Jim Williams]

I believes I'll stick to Bridgepoint T rust. I likes my fangers.

 

[Big papa]

I use whink all the time.

Just use good sense.

Who uses good sense...LOL...I was young and dump, and full of you know what...LOL
Let me tell you, If you are using any thing, that when you pour it into a bottle, makes you cough...You need to be looking for something else...Chem Spec brown out is one of those...That S*it works, but damm...Cough up a storm....I still have wink on the van ( old habits die hard )...but mark is doing the " new world " right way.

I used to work for a company who had a supervisor who thought it was funny to tell new employees to work it in with their fingers. Took a while before they finally fired him.

 

[Mikey P]

Are these Wink proof?

 

[Willy P]

Are these Wink proof?View attachment 84531

Nope. The only thing that contains hydroflouric is plastic, hence the plastic bottles.

 

[Dolly Llama]

Um you forgot the neutralizing part

alkaline rinse

did you use a neutral cleaner to wash it off your hands?
or start washing AFTER you felt the burn ?
Tell the truth

Heacock was a great guy...but a "green" freak
He advocated that pee water biowhatever juice ...it's crap

Gloves will just cause a mess.

Take cap off while holding upright and do not squeeze bottle hard. Tip and point st stain and squeeze firmly until you hit the spot. Release pressure and tip upright.

If by chance you feel moisture rinse thoroughly. I never get any on me and usually hit the spot on the first squeeze.


Keep cap on firmly.

 

[Nomad74]

Just squirt and kick with your foot. Thats the Damon way.

 

[BradFenstermaker]

I have 2 bottles on the truck at all times. Wal-Mart or Ace Hardware have it on the shelf.
Usually do like Steve but leave my leather work gloves on. If winks can't get it out its not rust.
On my truck for at least 12 yrs. I never rub anything with finger. That's what shoes are for.
Use your brain when using the product and you will be fine Mike.

Are you saying you deliberately touched it??

But "washed your hands right away"?

 

[Willy P]

No it was purely accidental. I managed to have a clumsy moment during an application. Unfortunately that's all it takes and I guess a little got under my fingernails.

 

[Fat Mike]

crazy

ive used it on and off for couple years. dont need it very often. works great on porcelain tiles with metal transfer scratches also.

ive always used a little and used gloves and am generally pretty cautious with any chems

and since we all work with nastiness, im always washing my hands

 

[Louis]

Used it for years. Always rubbed it with my foot. Works great. You never have to pay shipping.

 

[steve_64]

I use the corner of my wand for aggitation just before flushing it out. The rust is usually gone at first contact though.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Don't put the bottle in your pocket.

 

[Fat Mike]

googled acid burns and attacks

yikes poor people

 

[Mikey P]

Keep in mind, I used Erusticator for years at Coit.


I wish this bottle had that type of tip

 

[Mikey P]

And yes many of the Coit chimps pulled a Willy.

Where did you find it?

Walmart has it sometimes too

That's what made erusticator so good. Our most hazardous chemicals but in the safest bottle. Only dispensed drops at a time and couldn't spill I'd knocked over.

 

[Big papa]

ruff...that made me laugh...thanks.

[Big papa]

Ha...all boy...good stuff...thanks.

 

[Goomer]

No, It's likely due to some of your other "qualities" that you may be one.

 

[DAT]

I refuse to buy it...its not necessary.
