Money saving tip
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2015 1:49 pm
I find myself often wanting a bit of thinners on a rag or tissue to clean or de-grease something.
I always used to tip some from the bottle but you always get more than you need.
Now, thinners is expensive (and I'm from Yorkshire) so I got a few of these off Ebay.
I can now spray the smallest amount on to a rag which dampens it with just enough to do the job. The cap prevents evaporation and the plastic seems to stand up to the thinners.
I have another bottle filled with a 50% solution of isopropyl alcohol (surgical spirit) in water which is a good lens cleaner for glasses and the like. It's exactly the same stuff as the opticians sell for many times it's value.
