Carla says:

When your husband spills a can of Finishline degreaser on a newly waxed
kitchen floor, give him a good smack upside the head.

And then put him down on hands and knees with a can of paste wax to repair the
damage.... (sorry, Jim)

Degreaser makes a good wax stripper.

Ah man...

Of course, I've done the same myself, or worse. Canned pineapple does
weird things to floor wax, too.

After this damned puppy is house broken, I intend to replace both my
so-called no-wax floor AND most of my carpet with ceramic tile. (I'm
holding off because I do intend to have islands of carpet for warmth and
noise control, and he's not only not *quite* house broken, he's still
randomly chewing things. One has to be practical about these things,
lest one find oneself hucking off the deep end. Think about this in
terms of thy dear husband....)

I know how that sort of thing goes. We have a new baby who isn't exactly
housebroken yet either (not even close). So we'll be using the same grungy
furniture for some years to come now. No use in getting anything nicer. It
would quickly be transformed into what we have now.

There is a solution to your problem. Trade your baby in for a new titanium
bike. Perhaps they will be willing to take your baby off your hands:

Ah, grasshopper, you learn the way of the cleaning chemist. Degreaser
*is* floor stripper in many cases, just a different label.

We have used quite a bit of soap on the little guy, so maybe some Ti has
worked it way in. Or maybe there was some in some dirt he ate. Either way I
think we'll keep him.

I've grown pretty attached over the past few months, and I think he likes us
too. I'd hate to mess that up.

And quite a few people think that bleach works for spot cleaning carpet. I
don't correct them very often, because I make have made alot of money
patching bleach spots. :-)

I heard of cooking with Crisco but not with
Finishline. What was he doing with it in the kitchen anyway.

Now this really is wierd question for a mountain bike group.

Where else could you degrease a bike and have a ready supply
of water for tea brewing and to clean yourself up!

Patching. I haven't dyed yet. But I suppose it's inevitable....
