Re: [ARSCLIST] Foam Flange Glue Removal

["Peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds great.

I've got a few old "glue" tapes that clients didn't want saved but gave me
for testing purposes.  This sounds like a great boon if it works out.  I
hate working with trichlor and the current method, though it works, is a
royal pain.  Did Mick do the tests in Australia?  I'd love to find out what
concentration they used and find out more about the application.
