Title: Yellow dust
Post by: paulben on October 29, 2014, 06:43:47 am
Did a bungalow yesterday front windows were covered in yellow dust ( not finest colubian ). had to do windows twice as it  left horrible marks . Had to change water and cloths before I could do next one. Have seen dust before in other parts of town any ideas what it could be.

Customer told me its something in the trees caused by insects. I don't know. I took a picture as the window was so bad it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months (monthly customer)

After I had cleaned it and thought the seals had gone looked like that milky run you get when windows want changing luckily wiped scrim over and marks started to go but took a lot of work
