Muc-Off warning
Don't spray Mucoff on your frame and then distract yourself with
another task. It *WILL* eat the top layer of paint/lacquer/whatever on your beloved bicycle if left on for ten minutes or so. Fortunately, it was only my going-to-work bike. -- Microsoft Sam speaks his mind: www.artybee.net/sam_speaks_his_mind.mp3 |

Unfortunately I can say the same thing about blue stencil marking liquid from bikeregister.com, completely wiped the top coat of paint of my £2500 Kona Coiler Primo within 30 seconds or so. I managed to cover the mess with one of the bikeregister.com metallic stickers and I don't think Alu is effected by water anyway so I don't need to worry if it rains. |

It *WILL* eat the top layer of paint/lacquer/whatever on your beloved bicycle if left on for ten minutes or so. It's an excellent product but I can see that it could do something like that. I used some traffic film remover a friend in the fire brigade gave me. It dissolved the surface of the rubber bellows on the front forks of my BMW motorbike. Since then I have always diluted such products. I spray my bike with water, then brush MucOff over it. After a couple of minutes I rinse the bike off - I find it works well. I buy mine from Nelson's Cycles near Abergavenny, it's about 65% the price that Halfords charge. John |

It will also eat the anodising on aluminium if you leave it on - if you have anodised parts on the bike wash it off quickly or the colour will fade quite quickly. Tony |

The reason people think it isn't is that aluminium oxide is not very water soluable, unlike rust. However, it is softer, will flake off, expose un-oxidised aluminium, etc. If you have had the paint/lacquer scraped, please don't ignore it, and try a bit of touch up paint. For small scratches a good nail varnish isn't too bad. T.T.F.N. SPENNY |

And don't, if you've leant your bike against a garden chair to spray it, neglect to hose the garden chair down as well - Muc-Off'll have that, too. ******* powerful stuff! tom -- an optical recording release. copyright digitally mastered. ., |

Well I've stuck a metallic sticker over the spot the paint has come off, I could always try and find some white or clear nail varnish if the sticker comes lose. It would have been better if the stencil was made of cardboard or plastic rather than toilet tissue then at least I'd still have a readable identity sign even though it would be bare Alu rather than the useless smudged mess I'm covering now. |
