Default RE: Trimsolvent. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

+1. I did NOT have good luck with this stuff either. I have a brand new bottle of it. Tried it once. It looked like it melted my manokote. Same results as yours.

I too now use clear nail polish. works good.


ORIGINAL: kwblake

Hey. So this is going to be my first MAJOR rant. Bought a Twinstar, and decided to use trimsolvent to try to keep the trim attached. Didn't use anything on my Nexstar, and a good chunk of the trim fell off. I figured live and learn. Yes, I went over it with an iron. So I went out to my playpen, and got everything ready. Yes, I read the instructions on the bottle. Got everything cleaned off, and opened the bottle. My little shop is about 400 sq. ft. but the fumes that came off that bottle, would knock a Moose down at 1000 ft. Next, I went and grabbed one of my 1/2 masks, and a couple of P100 cartridges, which should handle a nuisance level of most solvents. WRONG. I could still smell the solvent through the mask. On top of that, the little bit that I did get done, looked like a hooker in a rainstorm. The black bled all over the rest of the colours. So I did get that cleaned up, and that was the end of the HOBBICO TRIMSOLVENT. Tomorrow, this S_ _ _ is going to be disposed of at my local dump, which does have an area for TOXIC substances. My God, some 16 year old kid, who doesn't know better, could go and buy this garbage thinking it would only do what he or she wanted. To stick down the trim on their plane. HOBBICO really needs to give their head a shake, selling a product like this. I still have a headache. UNBELIEVABLE, nowadays you can't say s_ _ _ ,but companys can still sell garbage like this. OK so I feel a little better now, but this crap is still going to the dump. I can live with the trim falling off, but I CANNOT live, and I don't think anyone should, with this crap. As I said, I do feel a little better.&lt;script id="overlay_tmpl" type="text/html"><div id="<%= overlayId %>" class="_mp3rocket_overlay_style" style="left: <%= overlayLeft %>; top: <%= overlayTop %>; width: <%= overlayWidth %>; height: <%= overlayHeight %>"></div></script&gt;
