Title: Ubix on timber painted frames or not? Just use pure?
Post by: James pryer on March 17, 2021, 05:01:16 pm

Hi all,

ive got some particularly dirty glass and dirty ish wooden frames. They frames are in okay condition but not the best.

Will Ubix be okay to use on this or will it affect the timber paint too much? 
I also have the screw fix degreaser. Would that be a better option? 


what sort of strength should I use? 


thanks

If you are going to use it , use a weak mix and dont let dwell too long , i have seen a strong mix of ubik2000 strip paint off of a painted door .

Personally I'd just use hot pure water rather than chemicals,flocked brush, a extra few scrubs and rinse well.job done.

Did not think flocked brushes were suitable for hot water use.

I find flocked brushes sometimes leave the window smeary with hot water, not sure why that is?

Flocked brushes seem to last longer with hot only troubles are they hold lot of dirt
